This is the CPython VM.  Other implementations do what they do.  Perhaps 
similar, but certainly different in details.

There have been various requests over the years on 
Python-list/comp.lang.python for documents describing the C-VM.  The 
usual answer has been 'read the source' as you did.  So I encourage you 
to announce it there and perhaps consider adding a PyWiki page (I assume 
there is not one now).
