I thought this list was for CPython, not other implementations ;)

This list serves a dual purpose. Its primary purpose is to discuss development of Python-the-language. It's also where discussions about CPython-the-implementation occur, but that's because CPython is the current reference implementation of the language.

While python-dev is not the primary forum for discussing implementation details of alternative implementations, I hope that those are not off-limits for this list, and should be especially welcome for issues that pertain to Python-the-language. Remember too that PEPs drive language changes, PEPs (generally) apply to all implementations of the language, and python-dev is where PEPs get discussed.

Cheers, -Barry
