Hello Alan, Steven,
I was narrow minded about this topic and did not see the benefits of
these multiple Python
implementations. You opened my eyes.

Furthermore I do not think that most of the "core" community has a

useful functions (it helps on the architecture side, because it

The Python development team values alternative implementations, as it
gives Python the language a much wider user base.
It also allows other people to shoulder some of the development burden.
For example, people who want Python without the limitations of the C
call stack can use Stackless Python, instead of ordinary CPython.
Google is sponsoring a highly optimized version of Python with a JIT
compiler: Unladen Swallow. It looks likely that Unladen Swallow will
end up being merged with CPython too, which will be a great benefit.
