Is there any difference between cpython and python [duplicate]

This question already has answers here: 开发者_如何学Python Python vs Cpython (11 answers) Closed 4 years ago.

I want to know the difference between CPython and Python because I have heard Python is developed in C - then what is the use of CPython?

Python is a language.

CPython is the default byte-code interpreter of Python, which is written in C.

There is also other implementation of Python such as IronPython (for .NET), Jython (for Java), etc.

CPython is Guido van Rossum's reference version of the Python computing language. It's most often called simply "Python"; speakers say "CPython" generally to distinguish it explicitly from other implementations.
