CPython

CPython is the official implementation of the Python programming language. It’s written in the C programming language and acts as the interpreter that translates Python code into instructions the computer can understand and execute. When you run a Python program, CPython reads your code, converts it into a form the computer's hardware can process, and manages the program's execution. Think of it as the engine that makes Python scripts run smoothly and correctly, allowing programmers to focus on writing code without worrying about the underlying hardware details.
