Abstract
Just being able to program in Python is powerful, but the real payoff is in its extension to other compiled assets. The article introduces several Python variants and examines a powerful new addition to Python itself. However, the products described also have some limitations. Until we standardize windowing systems, compiler controls, languages, and build tools even further, portability problems will exist. These variants aren´t always interoperable they try to remain compatible for the most part, but, inevitably, they can´t be.
