With the tokenize, ast, compile, and dis modules, we follow a simple expression from tokens to syntax tree to bytecode, right in the interpreter. https://cienciaprogramada.com/2026/05/program-execution/ Tue, 05 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 contato[@]cienciaprogramada.com.br (Francisco Bustamante) https://cienciaprogramada.com/2026/05/program-execution/ You write a line of code, and the processor only understands bits. We follow the translation: the two-pass assembler, the compiler phases, linking and loading. Along the way, GCC cuts twelve instructions down to two with -O2, and we see where Python and Java sit between compiling and interpreting.
