Python code is interpreted while C++ code is compiled. This means that Python code is read, translated and executed line-by-line in real-time, while C++ code must be compiled into machine code before it can be run. This makes Python code easier to write and debug, but also slower and less efficient than C++ code. Additionally, Python is dynamically typed, while C++ is statically typed, which means that variable types in Python are determined at runtime while variable types in C++ must be declared at compile-time. Finally, Python code is usually shorter and more concise than C++ code, partly due to its use of a higher-level language and built-in functions.
