The compiling and linking allows the new extensions to be compiled properly without any error and the linking can be done only when it passes the compiled procedure.

  • Compilation - Python first compiles your source code (.py file) into a format known as byte code. This step doesn’t create anything the user can actually run. Instead, the compiler produces the machine language instructions that correspond to the source code file that was compiled, compilation is simply a translation step.

  • Linking - It refers to the creation of a executable file, is the final phase where all the functions are linked with their definitions as the linker knows where all these functions are implemented.
