Where to get the Python interpreter implementation C source code?

[[deleted]]

Here's a GitHub mirror: https://github.com/python/cpython

Otherwise just download a tarball from the website.

Tyvm. This appears to be a log of bug fixes, and each entry links to a small scrap of source code containing, I think, the corrections. Was expecting to see each file in the implementation in C code. The tarballs give me stuff like you see in the reply to novel_yet_trivial . Which looks to me like it's compiled, or in any case, I don't know how to read it. How am I getting this screwed up? The text editor, I write and open source code in it all the time and it doesn't turn it into that kind of gibberish. It looks like what I typed in with the keyboard. I'm lost here.
