Explanation: The term “Python interpreter” refers to the piece of software that reads Python code and then puts that code into action by converting it into computer instructions. The Python code that is understandable by humans is first parsed by the interpreter, and then it is converted into instructions that are readable by computers. These instructions may then be carried out by the computer’s processor. When you execute a Python script or input Python code in an interactive environment, the Python interpreter is the component that is responsible for understanding and carrying out the instructions in the current context.
