Python and Parrot¶
Parrot is an effort to write the equivalent of .Net’s Common Language Runtime or the Java Virtual Machine for dynamically-typed scripting languages. The project is developed by the community working on Perl 6.

Admin Update
Links on this page were updated by a wiki administrator on 2026-10-17 because the original parrotcode.org link had been hijacked and redirected to malicious content.
The Parrot source tree includes some support for Python, but it can’t run very significant Python programs yet and no one seems to be actively working on it.
