CPython is just the most common version of Python, so-called because
it's written in C: the one you download from python.org.

It's normally only called "Cpython" to distinguish it if needed from 
other implementations, such as Jython (Java-based), IronPython 
(.NET-based), PyPy (Python-based) and others.
