When I looked a few years ago, I mentally divided the source files
into four groups:
compilation phase (a few files)
interpretation phase (1 file, the main loop -- ceval.c?)
builtin datatypes (one for each -- int, long, tuple, etc -- each
with similar structure)
other
Hope this helps a bit to get started
