| − | The most popular implementation of Python is the CPython implementation maintained by the Python Software Foundation. Currently developed under an [[open source]] model and licensed under its own Python Software Foundation License, CPython is a byte-code interpreter that comes with a rich library that includes modules for creating graphical user interface, relational database, arbitrary precision arithmetic, complex arithmetic, unit testing, regular expression, XML parsing, C/C++ interfacing and zip compression; combined, these features makes it a powerful glue language between lower-level machine languages and higher level languages and programs. | + | The most popular implementation of Python is the CPython implementation maintained by the Python Software Foundation.
