Why compile Python code?

Question

Why would you compile a Python script? You can run them directly from the .py file and it works fine, so is there a performance advantage or something?

Answer 1

There's certainly a performance difference when running a compiled script. If you run normal .py scripts, the machine compiles it every time it is run and this takes time. On modern machines this is hardly noticeable but as the script grows it may become more of an issue.
