There is no formal definition of the language. It is defined by the C implementation. So I'm not sure how meaningful that distinction is.

Or people give up on Python and use another language.
- dalke 10y agoPython is not defined by its C implementation. For example, Python-the-language does not require reference counting even though CPython uses that. The real-world distinction between the Python specification and its implementation started in the late 1990s, with JPython (now Jython).
