JVM Python exists for the longest time now, where "exists" is purely technical. It's very cursed and bad, keeping in line with the rest of Java-adjacent stack.
Yet this "Java-adjacent stack" wipes the floor with Python and its ilk w.r.t performance and is what's actually running the world outside of some silicon valley ephemeral unicorns.
There have for a long time been IronPython (CLR) and and Jython (JVM).
But, they don't have the full compatibility with CPython, so nobody really picks them up.
Jython seems to be effectively dead though - it only has 2.7 compatibility.
You are right: GraalPy (https://www.graalvm.org/python/) is where it's at these days.
