CLPython is in steady development, quite complete and stable on the
language level (somewhere between 2.5 and 2.6), but missing most
built-in library functionality. (It reuses the pure-Python parts of
the stdlib.)

As its developer, I don't care much about being mentioned in
discussions or presentations, as CLPython is not as widely used as
IronPython and Jython. But in a PEP like this, which is directly about
alternative implementations, it deserves to be mentioned, IMHO.
