Does the interpreter affect the speed of python code execution?

Question

Python

Does the interpreter affect the speed of code execution?
For example, can IDLE Python run faster than, for example, the interpreter inside PyCharm or Visual Studio. Or is there still no difference and it's just a matter of iron?

Answer 1

It also affects the optimization of your code. The same string concatenation with "+" or join can have an effect in different interpreters (CPython, Pypy)
