[Tutor] cpython

[Chris Fuller]

CPython refers to the main implementation, which is written in C.  There are a 
bunch of different implementations, such as IronPython for .NET or Jython for 
the Java Virtual Machine.

There's also Cython (subtle spelling difference), which you can use to combine 
C and Python code.  It isn't quite an implementation in the same sense, but 
it's close.

Most folk use CPython, and it's what we discuss on this list, unless otherwise 
specified.
