I'm sorry, this is making less and less sense. There is no such thing as
"the Linux version of Python".

Are you serious? There are 'versions' of Python specifically tailored for
Linux in the same way as there are 'versions' specifically tailored for
Unix, WinXP or Vista.

No, there are not.

There is Python. Any different 'versions' of it are successive releases,
not parallel releases for different systems.

Python's source code is available for users of computer systems with
appropriate compilers.

Binary packages *of the same thing* are also made available.

Most Linux distributions include or provide a packaged Python - again, a
package *of the same thing*. Obviously, they are packaged differently
for each distribution.

There is nothing in any of these that makes them in themselves faster or
slower than any other. They are all installations of the same thing.

This isn't a forum for discussing Python, so I'll drop it now. But your
claim "The commercial version of python is a lot faster than the free
version" is not merely not true, it doesn't even refer to things that
exist.
