Well, yes and no. Python does not save native machine code, it saves Python bytecode -- similar in concept to Java bytecode. This still gets interpreted -- it just saves the parsing step, which generally only reduces program load time.

This can be a win if you're on a really slow machine or if you're invoking it a LOT (ie, a CGI), but otherwise the difference is generally unnoticeable.
