CPython:
* a 2.7 port exist done by JFP. My impression is that it
   works very well on VMS and have some useful VMS stuff
   and are actively used.
* AFAIK there are no 3.x ports

Jython:
* 2.7 works on VMS, but does not have any specific VMS support.
* 3.x is not ready for any platform

PyPy: I don't think has ever been on VMS.

IronPython: no CLR so no IronPython.

Bottom line is that the CPython 2.7 port is what you
got.

And as recently discussed then 2.7 is getting old.
