<TITLE>Question on compiled code when embedding Python in C++</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">When we compile a Python code using functions such as Py_CompileString or any other similar compile function, what will be the resulting executable code?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Will it be byte code somewhat like the byte code of Java?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Or it will be the same binary code like the once generated by C/C++ compilers from the source code?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Are these code evaluations recommended for the performance intensive actions in C++ program?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any thoughts?</FONT>
