I watched this series more than once, it has so much details. I believe python-3 is not complete rewrite of python-2. So there must be lot of common code between them. So its useful regardless of its python-2 series or not.

- int_19h 10y agoThis series of blog posts is also great: https://tech.blog.aknin.name/tag/internals/ https://tech.blog.aknin.name/tag/internals/ I spent a lot of time reading it while working on the mixed-mode Python debugger for Visual Studio (which, coincidentally, supports both Python 2 and Python 3 - they do really share a lot of things). Much of that work involved parsing and writing internal Python data structures directly, since Python interpreter may be unusable when the current instruction pointer is inside native code (GIL not held, various system locks held etc).
