Python virtual machine == python interpreter

#1

So can we basically say the python virtual machine(which is written in C) works as the interpreter? As it reads the python source code(.py file) line by line and converts them into object code line by line ???

@bihan yes thats right.

So PVM is nothing but a software/interpreter that converts the byte code to machine code for given operating system . PVM is also called Python Interpreter and this is the reason Python is called an Interpreted language.
