But doing attentive googling will turn out a lot of 3rd-party blog posts which discuss various implementation aspects of CPython (and even alternative implementations). Some random links: http://tech.blog.aknin.name/category/my-projects/pythons-innards/ http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2010/09/18/python-internals-symbol-tables-part-1/ FWIW I have a bunch of those, and the symbol table one is probably not the best for beginners. The whole category is here: http://eli.thegreenplace.net/category/programming/python/python-internals/
Perhaps someone could make a wiki entry such as PythonInternals with links such as these.
