RobotPy's implementation of Python uses the C++ image for the cRIO. Essentially, RobotPy's setup (to my understanding) simply stands in for the standard/normal C++ code that you'd write and interprets your Python.

While Python isn't officially supported (e.g., it's completely legal, but FIRST/other teams out there probably won't be able to help you), there are several benefits. The one that sticks out most in my mind is the fact that there's no compiling or cRIO reboot needed. Changing out code is as simple as FTPing over some Python files.
