Python is a language, with numerous implementations. CPython is one of
those implementations.
See <URL:https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonImplementations> for an
overview.

I don't know; how did you acquire the Python implementation you're using
now?
What does the Python interactive prompt display when you first launch an
interactive Python shell?
Note that the answer is likely to be “Yes, you are using some version
of CPython” since that is the most common implementation.
