title: CPython is bytecode interpreter?
body: <p>I don't really get the concept of "bytecode interpreter" in the context of CPython. Can someone shed some light over the whole picture?</p>
  
  <p>Does it mean that CPython will compile and execute pyc file (bytecode file?). Then what compile py file to pyc file? And how is Jython different from CPython (except they are implemented in different languages).</p>
  
  <p>I also read somewhere that Python is C++ interpretation. Is this correct? And what does that mean?</p>
  
  <p>I'm still very new to Python, so forgive me if I ask the dumb questions...
  Thank you so much!</p>
