PyPy
An implementation of Python written in Python; even the bytecode interpreter is
written in Python. This is executed using CPython as the underlying
interpreter. One of the goals of the project is to encourage experimentation
with the language itself by making it easier to modify the interpreter (since it
is written in Python). Additional information is available on `the PyPy
project's home page <http://codespeak.net/pypy/>`_.
An implementation of Python written completely in Python. It supports several

Each of these implementations varies in some way from the language as documented
in this manual, or introduces specific information beyond what's covered in the
