Implementations of Python
Cpython: original python implementation.

Jython: compiles your Python code to Java bytecode, so your Python code can
run on the JVM

IronPython: lets you run Python on the Microsoft CLR (C# / .NET)

PyPy: compiles the source code during execution. Making it several times faster
than CPython

Cython: not a Python interpreter but instead allows developers to compile


python programs in the C language
