Yes, at least CPython is.  Of course, java is written in C, as are many
other languages.

C gives you lots of rope to hang yourself with, but if you use C well, it's
more portable than anything else, including the "portable" languages (the
ones that don't give you much rope).

I guess this is kind of like asking how you breathe.  Python just gets
exec'd or dlopen'd or something.

CPython is to .pyc as java is to .class.  They're both byte-compiled.  Java
is more commonly JIT compiled than CPython, but Python in general does
allow JIT compilation.

IOW, CPython is compiled, it just doesn't burden the developer with a
separate compile step.

Please see above.

You may get better answers if you get into more specifics about what your
question really is.
