The Interpreter
===============
Python is an interpreted language, similiar in the way to how Java operates, with bytecode. However, unlike Java, you will normally work with ``*.py`` files directly, instead of compiled bytecode files (``*.pyc``).

This is known as the Python interpreter, and is a REPL (Read–Eval–Print Loop). This allows you to type Python code, import modules, and interact with code you've written without having to write files to disk, in an interactive manner. This interactive mode is one of Python's super-powers, compared some other programming lanuages.

The second trick is ``PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE``. If you set this environment variable (e.g. in your ``~/.bashrc`` file or similar), Python won't write ``*.pyc`` files to disk, which is great, because they are incredibly annoying.
I've been using this environment variable for 7+ years for development and have never had any problems becaue of it.
