If so, that may take quite a long time. This may make the reimplementation impossible. As Chris already pointed out, you are still using Python -- i.e. the base language does not change. However, extension packages, such as "NumPy", might not be supported. If you are using extension packages, carefully check whether they are supported for a different Python implementation before you decide a switch.
