An open-source online book analyzing the CPython 3.7 source code, modeled after Chen Ru's 'Python 源码剖析'. It covers objects and the type system, compilation, the virtual machine, runtime, and memory management, built as a VitePress site.

Use cases

• learn how CPython works internally
• understand Python object and type system implementation
• study the Python bytecode compiler and virtual machine
• learn how Python's GIL and threading work
• understand Python garbage collection and memory management
• prepare for CPython contributor work

When to choose

• you want a free, structured deep dive into CPython 3.7 internals
• you prefer reading an online book with code-level explanations
• you want a modernized Chinese-language successor to the classic Python source code analysis book

When to avoid

• you need documentation for a recent Python version (content targets 3.7)
• you want a quick tutorial rather than deep internals
• you need an English-language resource
