Why python is not a scripting language inspite it doesnot need to compile before running ?

Answer 1

Scripting languages are those that support scripts written for a specific runtime environment. Python is one of those, Ruby, Javascript as well, R too - and many others.
They are most often used to "automate boring tasks" :) Being interpreted or compiled language is another story - although most often scripting languages are of interpreted realm.

Answer 2

Actually, Python *is* a scripting, interpreted language. Indeed, its code is not precompiled (well, it is, but directly to bytecode during execution, so it doesn't count as "compilation" in everyday meaning ;)

Answer 3

I have started learning Python recently , and found in book that it is not a scripting language though it doesn't need compilation on every code . :) And m now totally confuse how can a generic programming language run without compilation ?
