The python source code is the source code that defines the python
interpreter.  The interpreter is written in C.  The source for version
2.1.1 of the interpreter can be found at :
    http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.1.1/Python-2.1.1.tgz
and the current development version of the source can be found at :
    http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/python/python/dist/src/
