Developer’s Guide — Python Developer's Guide. This guide is a comprehensive resource for contributing to Python – for both new and experienced contributors.
It is maintained by the same community that maintains Python. We welcome your contributions to Python! Proposing changes to Python itself Improving Python’s code, documentation and tests are ongoing tasks that are never going to be “finished”, as Python operates as part of an ever-evolving system of technology. An even more challenging ongoing task than these necessary maintenance activities is finding ways to make Python, in the form of the standard library and the language definition, an even better tool in a developer’s toolkit.
While these kinds of change are much rarer than those described above, they do happen and that process is also described as part of this guide: Also refer to Where should I suggest new features and language changes? Other Interpreter Implementations There are other Python implementations, each with a different focus. Overview — Python v2.6 documentation. Python Programming Language – Official Website.

Now Right now Nuitka is a good replacement for the Python interpreter and compiles every construct that all relevant CPython versions, and even irrelevant ones, like 2.6 and 3.3 offer.
It translates the Python into a C program that then is linked against libpython to execute in the same way as CPython does, in a very compatible way. It is somewhat faster than CPython already, but currently it doesn't make all the optimizations possible, but a 312% factor on pystone is a good start (number is from version 0.6.0 and Python 2.7). Future In the future, Nuitka will be able to use type inference and guessing by doing whole program analysis and then applying the results to perform as many calculations as possible. It will also be possible to integrate ctypes based bindings without the normal speed penalty (the compiled program will call the C library directly without the use of ctypes run time). Where is it now?
With milestone 2, it is considered reached. And milestone 5+6 are not even started. Juancarlospaco/nuitka-gui. Cython. Overview[edit] Cython is a compiled language that generates CPython extension modules.
These extension modules can then be loaded and used by regular Python code using the import statement. Cython is written in Python and works on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, producing source files compatible with CPython 2.4 through 3.3. It works by producing a standard Python module.
