Open Source Python Interpreters for Linux

PyInstaller is a program that converts (packages) Python programs into stand-alone executables, under Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, AIX and Solaris. Its main advantages over similar tools are that PyInstaller works with any version of Python since 2.3, it builds smaller executables thanks to transparent compression, it is fully multi-platform, and uses the OS support to load the dynamic libraries, thus ensuring full compatibility. The main goal of PyInstaller is to be compatible with 3rd-party packages out-of-the-box. This means that, with PyInstaller, all the required tricks to make external packages work are already integrated within PyInstaller itself so that there is no user intervention required. You'll never be required to look for tricks in wikis and apply custom modification to your files or your setup scripts. As an example, libraries like PyQt, Django or matplotlib are fully supported, without having to handle plugins or external data files manually.

A collection of extensions for Python's IDLE, the Python IDE built with the tkinter GUI toolkit.

PC-BASIC is a free, cross-platform interpreter for GW-BASIC, BASICA, PCjr Cartridge Basic and Tandy 1000 GWBASIC. -- This page is an archive and hosts the legacy version 1.2 of PC-BASIC only. -- For documentation and the latest releases, please see the official homepage: www.pc-basic.org Four source code, discussions and to report bugs please see the GitHub project page https://github.com/robhagemans/pcbasic

GDL - GNU Data Language, a free IDL (Interactive Data Language, see http://ittvis.com/idl/) compatible incremental compiler.

JPype is an effort to allow python programs full access to java class libraries. This is achieved not through re-implementing Python, as Jython/JPython has done, but rather through interfacing at the native level in both Virtual Machines. Maintenance and evolution of the project has moved! please see http://www.jpype.org for the latest version

The Python programming language, an object-oriented scripting and rapid application development language. You can download it from http://www.python.org/download

Psyco showed that it is possible to execute Python code at speeds approaching that of fully compiled languages, by "specialization". The project is now dead and replaced by PyPy: http://pypy.org/

Jython is a Java implementation of the Python language. It allows users to compile Python source code to Java byte codes, and run the resulting bytecodes on any Java Virtual Machine. It is the successor to JPython.

Pyexpander is a powerful macro processor based on python. Instead of simple macro replacement it offers evaluation of arbitrary python expressions and execution of python code. Pyexpander is Turing Complete.

A Python extension for the SQLite Embedded Relational Database.

FramerD is a distributed semi-structured object database originally developed at MIT. It provides an internationalized Scheme-based scripting language, built-in text analysis tools, and special support for web scripting.

Powerful command line and configuration file parsing for C++, Python, Ruby and Java (others to come). This tool provides many features, such as separate treatment for options, variables, and flags, unrecognized object detection, prefixes and much more.

A Python interface to the GSL library. The wrapper covers nearly everything GSL provides.

Embed Prolog directly in your Python, C# or Javascript program using the yield keyword. There is no API standing between your code and Yield Prolog, so you can use all language features, including arrays, file I/O, user interaction and your own classes.

GUESS, or the Graph Exploration System, is a system and language for visualizing and manipulating graph structures and creating new visualization applications.

Effort to translate Python documentation in Bulgarian (starting with Python Tutorial).

The focus of this project is to port the OO interpreter language Python and its extensions (GUI, CORBA, SOAP, XML-RPC, QNX message passing, Data Bases a.s.o) to QNX4 and QNX6 (QNX RTP). URLs: www.python.org

A server-side language that supports simple and efficient Python-based dynamic HTML generation, aka Python Server Pages. Those familiar with JSP, PHP, or ASP and like Python, should have a look at Spyce.

CJKPython is internationalization and localization efforts for Chinese, Japanese and Korean environments on Python.

ChinesePython is a translation of Python scripting language itself into chinese. Not only the variable names, user messages/warnings/prompts but most notably, the reserved keywords and builtin types.

Elmer is a tool which embeds a Python module into a C, C++, or Tcl application. The embedded Python module is used just as if it was written in the same language as the application itself, without requiring any knowledge of the Python/C API.

PATH is a unique two-dimensional programming language. Unlike conventional programming languages, which read a program in a left-to-right, top-to-bottom fashion, PATH programs can go up, down, left, and right, and change directions at will.

PyCrust is an interactive Python shell written in Python using wxPython. PyCrust is now part of wxPython (www.wxpython.org), so packaged files are no longer available here, and the latest development version has moved to the wxWindows CVS repository.

PyStemmer provides stemmer functionality in Python for English, German, Norwegian, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, French, Swedish. PyStemmer is based on the Snowball stemmer (snowball.sourceforge.net)

An IRC client that uses Tcl for not only the scripting, but also the "glue" at the C level for how all the parts of the application fit together.
