Interpreted
The C language is compiled to assembly code, which is then interpreted. So, C is a compiled language. Python is compiled to bytecode, which is then interpreted. So, Python is an interpreted language? Plokmijnuhby (talk) 08:49, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- Assembly code (actually, the object code produced from assembly code) is executed by the CPU hardware which means it is not interpreted. Interpreted code is parsed by software which works out what instructions need to be executed by the CPU. Please ask any other questions (not directly related to improving the article) at the appropriate reference desk. Johnuniq (talk) 09:38, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
Python influenced GDScript
GDScript is the language of the Godot Game Engine. It's influenced from Python, so it should be added in the "from Python influenced" list. Reinthaler (talk) 08:48, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
Version history
I would very much like to see a version history, much like the one on the Perl article and like the one at https://github.com/PyCQA/pyflakes/issues/319 (Which looked like it came from wikipedia anyway).
Is there any reason why there isn't one? Copyright, etc? Also, I couldn't find one ever being created in the history of this page or the History of Python page.
Very happy to do the research and create it, as long as it doesn't get deleted the next day!

Perl is the basis
First-most, Python borrowed heavily from Perl, not the syntax, but the API functions, and conglomeration of awk, set, perl, etc functionality. Having much experience with Python in its first 2 years, the main take away is that it is like Perl in terms of getting things done without the convoluted syntax. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:D591:5F10:6DC4:DCDB:94D9:A227 (talk) 22:41, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
