From https://github.com/realpython/python-guide/blob/master/docs/starting/which-python.rst#cpython :

If you are writing open-source Python code and want to reach the widest possible audience, targeting CPython is best. To use packages which rely on C extensions to function, CPython is your only implementation option.

PyPy now supports (some/all?) C extensions
http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/extending.html

Jython supports C extensions through JyNI:

IronPython supports C extensions now?
