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/ http://nedbatchelder.com/blog/200804/the_structure_of_pyc_files.html One should keep in mind that implementation evolves all the time, and any info in older docs may be obsolete. So, the ultimate reference is the source itself, but posts like above can be a good help to understand it more easily and effectively. -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmiscml at gmail.com
