Clang++ compiler - analog for python

Question

is there a similar alternative updated and working compiler for python like clang for c++?

I find error messages unclear sometimes.

Answer 1

What exactly are you trying to do?

C and C++ are compiled languages, that's why there are several compilers for them like CLANG. However Python is an interpreted language, it can not be compiled in a way as a C/C++ code can.

Technically, they are compiled to byte-code, but it's done automatically when you run your script, for example: python my_script.py -- it will create or update a my_script.pyc file and then the interpreter will run this compiled version.

There are several tools to create a shared library of your code (with cython for example) or to use your code with a Just-In-Time compiler (with pypy) if those are the things you are looking for.
