What is PVM | Python Working

Python doesn’t convert its code into machine code, something that hardware understnad. It converts it into something colled byte code. So within Python, compilation happens, but it’s just not in a machine language. It is into bye code (.pyc or .pyo) and this byte code can’t be understood by the CPU. So we need an interpreter called the Python Virtual Machine PVM to execute the byte codes.
