The problem is that an average interpret/compiler is going to be "dumb" in that it assumes that when it starts parsing a python file that all of the features are going to be used.
It provides facilities for all of python abilities regardless of what the program is going to do.
Now, there are subsets of python people have developed that can be compiled and all sorts of other stuff.
Beyond that, I'd just say "all this stuff sounds easy but gets much harder when you actually have to program it".
"Why can't it just know!" is the programmer's lament.
