I am quite new in Python programming. While googling I found some of the Python related words. I just wanted to know what is the difference among Python, Jython, IronPython, and wxPython.
I know wxPython is for GUI programming. But what are Jython and IronPython? Please help me.

Python is Python, the only difference is that IronPython was designed to run on the CLR (. NET Framework), and as such, can inter-operate and consume . NET assemblies written in other .
Jython and IronPython are different python implementations, both of which run on different virtual machines. Jython runs on the JVM (Java virtual machine) and IronPython runs on the CLR (common language runtime).
So basically JIT makes it possible to compile the source code into native machine code which makes it very fast. PyPy also comes with default with support for stackless mode, providing micro-threads for massive concurrency. Python is said to be approximately 7.5 times faster than Cpython.
Jython is a version of the Python programming language that runs on the Java platform. It allows users to write programs in Python and compile them to Java bytecodes that run directly on a Java Virtual Machine, or JVM. It's similar to otherJVM languages like; Scala, Kotlin, Groovy, or Clojur.
Jython and IronPython are different python implementations, both of which run on different virtual machines. Jython runs on the JVM (Java virtual machine) and IronPython runs on the CLR (common language runtime). This means that programs using these implementations can take advantage of the libraries and ecosystem of the virtual machines. For example, using Jython, I can write a plugin for a Java application, and using IronPython I can use the .NET standard library. The downside to using a different implementation to CPython is that CPython is the most used python, and therefore has the best support from libraries and developers. For example, a popular library like NumPy will only work on CPython, as it relies on CPython's C api, which neither Jython or IronPython can provide.
