Python (programming language)

Can Python code run without Python?

Imagine you've written a Python script to calculate your monthly expenses. You want to use it on your friend's computer, which doesn't have Python installed.

You can transform your Python script into TorchScript, a format that lets you run Python code on different platforms without needing Python itself.

Example

Your Python function `calculate_expenses(income, expenses)` is converted into TorchScript, allowing it to run on your friend's computer.

Remember this

TorchScript acts as a bridge, enabling Python code to run outside the Python environment.
