The CMUCL User's Manual is a detailed document containing a lot of information on the Python compiler and CMUCL extensions to Common Lisp, such as the FFI. It is available in the following formats (last updated 2010-09-27):

the statement `a = b.c() ` is compiled to a byte stream which, when "disassembled", looks somewhat like load 0 (b); load_str 'c'; get_attr; call_function 0; store 1 (a). This is a simplification, it's actually less readable and a bit more low-level - you can experiment with the standard library dis module and see what the real deal looks like. Interpreting this is faster than interpreting from a higher-level representation.
> Python interpreter first reads the human code and optimizes it to some intermediate code before interpreting it into machine code. That's why you always need another program to run a Python script, unlike in C++ where you can run the compiled executable of your code directly. For example, c:\Python27\python.exe or /usr/bin/python.

@anselmschueler I mean data structure and algorithms

@xameer o

@anselmschueler I mean I heard about python ~ a decade ago, because of django ( or similar frameworks ), ML , torch, nlp etc and none of low level or type theory-ish topics .
people near me who were learning it , had Java in high school course and CPP in their UG
for one I use nix/poetry for getting pip, venv ,packages
and that was my remote impression

@hagarashi8
mostly , I am obsessed with the view that programming is about computation*
may I should ve used computation instead of the word programming ( editing now- for clarity)
