This is awesome - I wish every large software project had something like this that was a prep-course to be able to start contributing meaningfully!

- smcl 10y agoI agree - this basically gives you enough information to bootstrap your own learning about the CPython internals. I feel like all companies/projects should have a similar intro which gives new-joiners enough information that they can figure out most things themselves without too much pain, and without spoon-feeding too much.
- saurabhjha 10y agoNot a prep course, but for example Redis has a very good source code overview here https://github.com/antirez/redis#redis-internals https://github.com/antirez/redis#redis-internals More remarkable is the fact that antirez updated the documentation in response to a post in Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/redis/comments/3re0aw/any_pointers_towards_learning_internals_of_redis/ https://www.reddit.com/r/redis/comments/3re0aw/any_pointers_... Thank you antirez! :-)

- Twirrim 10y agoOh wow. That's beautifully done. Simple comments that explain clearly what the code is doing, pretty clear choice of variable names so little head-scratching going on.
- Karupan 10y agoThe documentation of redis is really good for a large open source project. I am not a contributor, but still read the source code from time to time. Full credit to antirez for taking the time to make it easy to contribute to redis!
- c4obi 10y agoShameless plug here but I have put together a free ebook detailing the inner workings of the python virtual machine @ https://leanpub.com/insidethepythonvirtualmachine https://leanpub.com/insidethepythonvirtualmachine
