Python and CPython are two different names for the same thing, namely the
distribution of python that is written and maintained in the C programming
language. Jython (which used to be called JPython) is a python distribution
written in 100% pure Java. When you see someone using the term 'python'
beginning with a non-capital 'p', this often refers to the language itself
instead of any particular implementation of it.
