Is Python platform independent like Java?

Java is cross platform because a program’s source code is compiled into an intermediate “bytecode” language. The bytecode is then executed by a Java Virtual Machine (Java interpreter) that was written for that particular hardware platform.

Yes, Python is a cross-platform language : a Python program written on a Windows PC will run on a Linux system and vice versa. You can also make android and iOS apps using python – Build native apps with Python.

Python programs are platform independent because they can be run on different platforms using an interpreter built specifically for that platform. Just as Java programs can be run on different platforms using a JVM built for that platform.
