The Python interpreter which is implemented in the C language. It's the most common interpreter implementation used; it's what you'd get if you downloaded Python from python.org. Its source code lives here if you want to have a look.
The whole C API (how to interact with. Python from c code and to write c-extensions) mixesrivate and public APIs in a way that is very difficult to duplicate. Most of the alternative interpreters or optimisers don’t try, which means they can never optimise past the level of a single function ( numba, pyston). PyPy and Graal Python have teamed up to solve this with HPy https://hpyproject.org which is still a work in progress.
From time to time, I use pgcopy coupled with psycopg2cffi to feed large volumes of data processed by custom parsers written in Python for several formats. The whole process is 4-5x faster with PyPy.
