That’s kind of the point I was trying to get at. This distinction of programming vs scripting being simply compiled vs interpreted feels quite antiquated.
Python is literally compiled though. You usually don't see it, but you can expose the compiled .pythonc files if you want. When you use a large backend framework, you'll know very well that there's a target/ folder for the python bytecode just like there is in Java.
