Given that "python" is basically synonymous with "cpython" and cpython has always been implemented in C, I guess the answer to your question is "yes".
- Zambyte 3y agoA language is distinct from its implementation language. Else everything is machine code.
- CogitoCogito 3y agoI never argued otherwise. But how is using a package which is implemented in another language not "python"? How is "list(range(10))" python whereas "numpy.arange(10)" is not?
