* [[PyPy]] – Python (originally) coded in Python, used with [[PyPy#RPython|RPython]], a restricted subset of Python that is amenable to static analysis and thus a [[Just-in-time compilation|JIT]].
* [[Shed Skin]] – a [[source-to-source compiler]] from Python to [[C++]]
Historic Python implementations include:
* [[Parrot virtual machine|Parrot]] – Virtual machine being developed mainly as the runtime for [[Raku (programming language)|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 (programming language)|Pyrex]] – Python-like Python module development project that has mostly been eclipsed by Cython
* [[Python for S60]] – CPython port to the [[S60 (software platform)|S60]] platform
* [[Stackless Python]] – CPython with [[coroutine]]s
* [[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
