Well, yes and no. Python does not save native machine code, it saves
Python bytecode -- similar in concept to Java bytecode. This still gets
interpreted -- it just saves the parsing step, which generally only
reduces program load time.
This can be a win if you're on a really slow machine or if you're
invoking it a LOT (ie, a CGI), but otherwise the difference is generally
unnoticeable.
