Hi,

I wanted to let python-dev know about a series of articles about CPython's internals I'm publishing under the collective title "Guido's Python"* (http://tech.blog.aknin.name/tag/guidos-python/). Three articles already were published already, more are planned (mainly focused on CPython/py3k, but comparisons with other implementations may also be covered; we'll see). So far I've done an introduction/whirlwind tour of Py_Main and a two-article in-depth review of the (new-style) object system.

Whether or not they become part of the Python documentation I have very much enjoyed and appreciated this series of blog entries. I still covet the ability to contribute to Python in C and these articles are a great introduction to the underlying Python interpreter and object system.

Please continue!

All the best,

Michael Foord


I'm sharing this with you (and hope you care) due to three reasons, probably in escalating importance:
(a) Maybe some of python-dev's readers would be interested (possibly the newer and more silent members).

(b) Maybe my scales are wrong, but I was a bit surprised by the number of readers (>20,000 in the past two weeks); I wouldn't want to mislead such a reader base and would be happy if a veteran here would be interested in aiding by technically proofing the material (shan't be too hard I hope, feel free to contact me directly if qualified and interested).

(c) While the content is currently geared to be blog-oriented, if it's found worthy by the group I'd be delighted to formulate it into something more 'reference-material-ish' and give it back to the community. I found no centrally organized CPython-internals material other than bits and pieces (descrintro, eclectic blog posts, lectures, C-API reference, etc), and I hope maybe something like this could be featured more officially on python.org, with the relevant 'this is subject to change' disclaimers (can be a document for new contributors, for pure Python programmers who're just interested, or for whatever we decide). 

Questions? Comments?
