CPython supported platforms?

I overhauled previously bogus "CPython supported platforms" section, separating to "supported", "previously supported", and "external". I also linked to the development sites where external ports are actually developed. Sanxiyn 08:10, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Classic Python"

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=%22classic+python%22+cpython+-gfdl+-wikipedia&btnG=Search&meta= hints at this term actually having some currency. Draw your own conclusion. 88.111.156.134 17:32, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Python logo.svg

The image Image:Python logo.svg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --01:11, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The supported platforms part of this article is really dumb. Why are OS's separated as "unix like" and "desktop"? Linux and OS X are both Unix-like desktop OS's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.89.155.169 (talk) 21:00, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Citation Needed tags in a weird place

In the "Supported Platforms" section, there are "Citation needed" tags on the headers for the "Other" and "Special Embedded" sections. This positioning makes no sense; the source to cite for these platforms being supported is not necessarily going to cover all of them. They would be better on the contested supported platforms. 141.217.174.122 (talk) 18:28, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

z/OS a supported platform?

To claim z/OS is a supported platform might be pushing it a bit. See http://bugs.python.org/issue1298 . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.137.52.222 (talk) 12:29, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unladen swallow

CPython#Unladen Swallow is too long. Since it is clear that development on Unladen swallow is not continuing, the detective work to try to see if anything has been happening since 2010 is no longer of much interest. In my opinion this section might be shortened into a summary. EdJohnston (talk) 22:11, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not only is it too long, it should not be in CPython at all as it is NOT CPython. On the other hand there is no specific page for it, and it seems a shame to 'destroy' information even if it does refer to a project that is only of historic interest. Perhaps there should be a Wikipedia page specifically for summarising Python implementations? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.94.115.69 (talk) 09:49, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It used to have its own page, see Talk:Unladen Swallow, but was uncontroversially moved here. Pianostar9 (talk) 13:47, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

GIL "rewrite"

The recent commit "Rewrote the explanation of the GIL to make it's Pros, Cons and characteristics clearer." is long on opinions and short on citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DoctorCaligari (talk • contribs) 17:01, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Python [...] is generally not used for CPU-intensive operations such as image-processing or neural networks"

Python and machine learning go hand-in-hand, Python is used all the time for neural networks. Should this be changed?

If you remove most of that section, I don't think anyone is going to stop you Akeosnhaoe (talk) 04:44, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
