Python mode?
Does the Python mode in processing actually uses the python language or just emulates it's syntax and functions?

What is known as Python language is actually CPython:

However, Python got many diff. implementations.
And Python Mode, in order to fully use all Processing's API, which is in Java, relies on Jython:

Processing's API in Java: https://Processing.org/reference/
Processing's API in Python/Jython: http://py.Processing.org/reference/
thank you for your answer. I checked the links and they where really useful. I'm new to coding, so the amount of coding, programming, scripting languages is overwhelming... thanks again
