Embedded as a scripting language

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

Commercial uses

  • CCP hf uses Stackless Python in both its server-side and client-side applications for its MMO Eve Online.[4]
  • Instagram's backend is written in Python.[5]
  • 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 [citation 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."[6]
  • reddit was originally written in Common Lisp, but was rewritten in Python in 2005[7]
  • 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"[8]
  • Enthought uses Python as the main language for many custom applications in Geophysics, Financial applications, Astrophysics, simulations for consumer product companies, ...

Implementations of Python include:[10]

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.
  • Pyrex – Python-like Python module development project that has mostly been eclipsed by Cython
  • Python for S60 – CPython port to the S60 platform
  • Psyco – specialized JIT compiler project that has mostly been eclipsed by PyPy
  • 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
