FWIW, wikipedia says "The main Python implementation, named CPython, [...] compiles Python programs into intermediate bytecode, which is executed by the virtual machine." I'm not sure why people call Python's VM an interpreter...
Because CPython implements its virtual machine with an interpreter, without the option of, say, a JIT compiler.
