A guided tour of the CPython source code

You might use Python every day. But how much do you know about what happens under the covers, down at the C level? When you type something like variable = [], what are the byte-codes that accomplish this? How about the class backing the list itself?

All of these details live at the C-layer of CPython. On this episode, you'll meet Anthony Shaw. He and I take a guided tour of the CPython source code. After this, you won't have to guess what's happening. You can git-clone the CPython source code and see for yourself.
