How do you perform compiling and linking in Python?
Since this question asks about how you perform specific processes, you can easily identify it as an operational question. Operational questions should be answered briefly and directly, with little embellishment. The interviewer will likely ask you a follow-up question to explore your processes in more detail. If it is applicable, you can break the process down into discrete steps and describe these sequentially to the interviewer.
"The process for compiling and linking in Python begins with creating a file and naming it using a convention that is supported by the compiler. The file should be stored in the modules directory. You then run the file using the command "spam file.o." After the process is complete, you rebuild the interpreter using a make command. If the file has been updated, you then run the command "make Makefile'.'"
