  • Numba – NumPy aware LLVM-based JIT compiler.
  • PyPy – Python (originally) coded in Python, used with RPython, a restricted subset of Python that is amenable to static analysis and thus a JIT.
  • Shed Skin – a source-to-source compiler from Python to C++.

Historic Python implementations include:
