Basically, all scripting languages are programming languages. The theoretical difference between the two is that scripting languages do not require the compilation step and are rather interpreted. ... Generally, compiled programs run faster than interpreted programs because they are first converted native machine code.

Python can be compiled to a *.exe file or can be used directly, like work with db.

Progranming languages are either interpreted (these are often called scripting languages), compiled, or both.

Is Python scripting or programming language? Some scripting languages traditionally used without an explicit compilation step are JavaScript, PHP, Python, VBScript.
