I'm not sure I follow. Cython runs all Python code, plus
manages extensions for more easily compiling functions
to C extensions. Nuitka tries to implement most of CPython.
Both support use of Python C extensions.

It's true that both need libpython - that's why I listed them
as "Alternative CPython" and not as "Alternative Python"
implementations :-)

Could you provide pointers to missing items ?

You mean PythonAnywhere ?

I think there's a misunderstanding here. I just listed
alternative implementations which aren't already mentioned
on https://www.python.org/download/alternatives/.
