Python running "non-natively"

First, want to say how entertaining this article has been and I'm only about half way through it after several days (that's not how slow I'm reading but the spare time allocated BG. )

3.5 Look How Big and Weird Things Get With Just Python

This section described how code can be created in Python but not run through an ordinary python interpreter. Maybe the content may be a bit handicapped by not yet introducing the difference between a script interpreter vs running compiled code. But also leads to a misleading statement about running Python in IronPython and maybe Jthon. In those cases, the python code does not retain its original scripting structure and flow which is completely obliterated as it is compiled into java bytes or the CLR. And, that is why for instance at least regarding using any language used in dotNET no matter what language is used the runtime result runs identically because it identical or nearly identical compiled bytes.
