What is the difference between Python and ActivePython?
ActivePython contains a complete Python kernel, which directly calls the official Python open source kernel. In addition, there is an IDE required for Python programming, and some Python Windows extensions are added. It also provides all services for accessing Windows APIs. Although ActivePython is not open source like pure Python, it can also be downloaded and used for free.
python is the official version, and activepython is a superset of python that includes the official version and adds some other software packages, libraries, etc., and then repackages it.
activepython is customized by the Red Hat company. python usually refers to c-python, which means it is written in C language. It's open source. Activepython is a binary distribution package compiled by the redhat company itself and modified some by itself.
It is basically compatible with python. But it has its own benefits. For example, under Windows, it integrates the win32 API. In addition, under Linux, if sometimes we cannot find the installation package. If you can't compile it yourself, you can download activepython and install it. This is also possible.
In short, it is a personalized customized binary distribution package for python.
