Ever wondered how the code written in python can be executed in any platform, be it Windows, MacOS or Linux and how does python interpreter actually handle the code ?

Python bytecode is a set of low level instructions that are derived from the source code that the developer writes. This bytecode is sent to the python interpreter which understands them and executes them to give the desired output.

This added step of converting python source code into bytecode is what makes python platform-independent and it also boosts performance as the bytecode serves as an intermediate representation of the code and thus can be optimized by the python interpreter.
