What is the Python interpreter and how does Python work internally?

In this video, I talk about how the Python interpreter works and how it runs your Python source code. Essentially, the Python interpreter is comprised of two subsystems:

1- A compiler: this compiles your source code into an intermediate code called the 'byte code'
2- A Python virtual machine (PVM): this interprets and executes the byte code on your machine.

A good understanding of the concepts discussed in this video is crucial if you want to master the Python programming language.
