On a typical CPython install the C implementation will be used. The Python versions are available for PyPy and systems where compiling the CPython extension is not possible. To explicitly use a specific implementation, refer to the appropriate module:: import jellyfish._jellyfish as pyjellyfish import jellyfish.cjellyfish as cjellyfish If you've already imported jellyfish and are not sure what implementation you are using, you can check by querying ``jellyfish.library``:: if jellyfish.library == 'Python': # Python implementation elif jellyfish.library == 'C': # C implementation Indices and tables ================== * :ref:`genindex` * :ref:`modindex` * :ref:`search`
