Due to its popularity, many different implementations exist for the two distinct Python 2 and Python 3 language versions. We evaluated seven different implementations of both language versions to facilitate the selection of one of them. For this purpose, we carefully selected a collection of 523 programs to be executed in each implementation. Runtime performance and memory consumption are evaluated, and some important qualitative characteristics of each implementation are also discussed.
