Python implementations matrix
For the last week or so I’ve been putting together a spreadsheet, to compare the various Python implementations on support of PEPs and library modules. It is ready for a first release, but far from complete:
- CPython 1.5 – 2.5 coverage is good.
- IronPython 1.0 – 1.1 has library coverage
- Jython only has release dates
- PyPy has not been started
I’ve uploaded as an OpenDocument Spreadsheet: Python implementations matrix. Alternatively, for those stuck with Excel, it is also available as an MS Excel workbook: Python implementations matrix (xls)
Comments, suggestions and emails welcome.

This is a great idea, but it would be better hosted somewhere where people can contribute. Either as a Wiki page (you can create a page on the IronPython cookbook if you want) or perhaps a google spreadsheet ?

Heh, just before refreshing this page and reading your comment, I was going to suggest that.
I migrated it to Google Spreadsheets but its really slow and wacky because you cannot freeze columns, just rows.
See http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pzHlWTjyeqPRF7E18R7l-XQ for details. If you want colloboration access, uhm, just mail me. Sort of (stargaming — gmail.com).

I was just putting the finishing touches to a Google Spreadsheets hosted version myself, at http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pA0CLseopPqSzWWEn0EOuBA. I’m sending you both a ‘can be used by anyone’ collaboration invite. I considered a Wiki, but I think editing raw wiki syntax will be too much of a pain for a table this size.
Finally, since there seems to be some interest in this, I’ll give it a license. I place ‘Python Implementations matrix’ under the revised BSD license.

Nice work…
You should remove the period at the end of the google spreadsheets url.
This would seem to be a great project for someone that was into creating some test cases…

Very cool idea! I could help you fill in the PyPy column. If you want me to send me a mail: cfbolz at gmx.de.

How about shedskin.

I hadn’t thought of shedskin. I’ll take a look tonight.
If you’d like an edit link to the Google Docs online version, please let me know. Alex
