Python info

[Dave Zhu]

Hello All,

I would like to have a broad knowledge on Python.
Basically, I would like to know Python is designed,
how parsing, compilation, and interpretation take
place, how memory management works, how the Python
interpreter performs compared to others, etc. I
already looked at Python's documentation, but couldn't
find any detailed information. Any references would be
appreciated. Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Dave

Well, the source code is pretty well documented if you want to get to
know the implementation. Read the "Extending and Embedding" tutorial
and the "Python/C API" reference, then start digging through the code.

Performance comparisons are broadly available, and always suspect.
