CPython is the original implementation, written in C. (The "C" part in "CPython" refers to the language that was used to write Python interpreter itself.) Jython is the same language (Python), but implemented using Java. IronPython interpreter was written in C#.
Difference between Python and JythonReference implementation of Python, called CPython, is written in C language. Jython on the other hand is completely written in Java and is a JVM implementation. Standard Python is available on multiple platforms. Jython is available for any platform with a JVM installed on it.
CPython is the implementation of the language called “Python” in C. Python is an interpreted programming language. Hence, Python programmers need interpreters to convert Python code into machine code. Whereas Cython is a compiled programming language.
CPython is the reference implementation of the Python programming language. Written in C and Python, CPython is the default and most widely used implementation of the Python language. CPython can be defined as both an interpreter and a compiler as it compiles Python code into bytecode before interpreting it.
Use CPython, with IronPython you are bound to .Net platform which do not have much cross platform support, mono is there on linux but still for a cross platform app, I wouldn't recommend .Net.
So my suggestion is use CPython, for GUI use a framework like wxPython/PyQT and you would be happy.
