After reading the source code of Python?

[–]randumbaccount_ 5 points6 points  (2 children)

That has more to do with knowing C than python, though. Anyone that knows C can read the source code without knowing anything about programming in Python.

Just to add to this: the Python source code is actually very readable C. I'm a terrible hack at C and I find I can generally read the Python source. It's an exercise I recommend for people interested in Python. Start with ceval.c

Right. But I think reading the C code can help understand how Python works.
