CPython is the reference implementation of Python. This implementation is written in C, meeting the C11 standardcite-ref-125[122] (since version 3.11, older versions use the C89 standard with several select C99 features), but third-party extensions are not limited to older C versions—e.g., they can be implemented using C11 or C++.cite-ref-126[123]cite-ref-autont-66-127-0[124] CPython compiles Python programs into an intermediate bytecode,cite-ref-autont-67-128-0[125] which is then executed by a virtual machine.cite-ref-autont-68-129-0[126] CPython is distributed with a large standard library written in a combination of C and native Python.
