that''s a big negative in any language. Without compiling how is Python able to generate compile time errors? Run time errors are like 10 to 100x times harder to fix.

Ok, PoesRaven, we have a different definition of compiler... I mean, a compiler should build native code from source code; isn''t Python interpreted? The only way to compile it is to convert Python to C code (Py2C) and then compile it.
python wont compile to native code, no, but it does compile to a faster interpretting symbolic format but then again, what language pushed for use as a script in many applications compiles and links to machine code?
