This is done for several reasons: - Recent CPython versions such as 3.13 have mostly caught up with Pyston in terms of performance. If the trend continues, CPython may supersede Pyston's performance in the long term. This is especially the case if the experimental JIT is eventually able to run Godot's SCons setup. - Pyston is not maintained anymore (its last release was in 2022), and the last Python version it can run is 3.8. Python 3.8 is now end-of-life. Godot's SCons setup (as well as SCons itself) will eventually require Python versions newer than 3.8.
