Reading the next sentence clears the confusion:

> SPy is not a "compiler for Python". There are features of the Python language which will never be supported by SPy by design. Don't expect to compile Django or FastAPI with SPy.



Yeah but then don't say that SPy is a (interpreter and) compiler in the first place? Just say it's a interpreter.


It is a compiler. It is not a compiler for Python, because there are valid Python programs it can't compile and isn't intended to compile.


You can think of it like this:

SPy is a compiler. SPy is not a compiler for OCaml. SPy is not a compiler for COBOL. SPy is not a compiler for Python.
