Embedded as a scripting language

Python is, or can be used as the scripting language in these notable software products:

Commercial uses

  • CCP Games uses Stackless Python in both its server-side and client-side applications for its MMO Eve Online.[16]
  • Instagram's backend is written in Python.[17]
  • NASA is using Python to implement a CAD/CAE/PDM repository and model management, integration, and transformation system which will be the core infrastructure for its next-generation collaborative engineering environment.[18][non-primary source needed] It is also the development language for OpenMDAO, a framework developed by NASA for solving multidisciplinary design optimization problems.
  • "Python has been an important part of Google since the beginning, and remains so as the system grows and evolves. Today dozens of Google engineers use Python."[19]
  • Reddit was originally written in Common Lisp, but was rewritten in Python in 2005[20]
  • Yahoo! Groups uses Python "to maintain its discussion groups"[citation needed]
  • YouTube uses Python "to produce maintainable features in record times, with a minimum of developers"[21]
  • Enthought uses Python as the main language for many custom applications in Geophysics, Financial applications, Astrophysics, simulations for consumer product companies, ...
  • Rosneft uses Python as one of the main languages for its geoengineering applications development. RN-GRID, a hydraulic fracturing simulation software, has a graphical user interface written entirely in Python.[22][failed verification]

Python implementations

Implementations of Python include:[23]

  • CLPython – Implementation, written in Common Lisp
  • CPython – The reference implementation, written in C11.[24] Some notable distributions include:
    • ActivePython – Distribution with more than 300 included packages[25]
    • Intel Distribution for Python – High performance distribution with conda and pip package managers[26]
    • PSF Python – Reference distribution that includes only selected standard libraries[27]
  • Cython – programming language to simplify writing C and C++ extension modules for the CPython Python runtime.
  • IronPython – Python for CLI platforms (including .NET and Mono)
  • Jython – Python for Java platforms
  • MicroPython – Python 3 implementation for microcontroller platforms
  • Nuitka – a source-to-source compiler which compiles Python code to C/C++ executables, or source code.
  • Numba – NumPy aware LLVM-based JIT compiler
  • Pyjs – a framework (based on Google Web Toolkit (GWT) concept) for developing client-side Python-based web applications, including a stand-alone Python-to-JavaScript compiler, an Ajax framework and widget toolkit
  • 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++
  • Stackless Python – CPython with coroutines

Historic Python implementations include:

  • Parrot – Virtual machine being developed mainly as the runtime for Raku, and intended to support dynamic languages like Python, Ruby, Tcl, etc.
  • Psyco – specialized JIT compiler project that has mostly been eclipsed by PyPy
  • Pyrex – Python-like Python module development project that has mostly been eclipsed by Cython
  • Python for S60 – CPython port to the S60 platform
  • Unladen Swallow – performance-orientated implementation based on CPython which natively executed its bytecode via an LLVM-based JIT compiler. Funded by Google, stopped circa 2011
