What is Python?

Python Interpreter is a program which performs reading, analysis and execution of source code and a script. This tool reads commands of a Python program, and executes them immediately. It operates in two modes: interactive and command line.

First, Python Interpreter retrieves commands of a program, in order to translate them into machine language, and afterwards, it executes them.
