Possibly too.

True. What about "specific", then ?

This is debatable, but I don't feel like debating on this.

Which AFAICT doesn't make it "proprietary", for the common definition of 
"proprietary" wrt/ softwares. Python is free software, which means that 
anyone can freely write either it's own Python compiler (which is 
basically what Jython and IronPython are) or write a compiler for any 
language to CPython's VM.

Sorry for being so nitpicky.
