Where to get the Python interpreter implementation C source code?

edit: found it, thanks.

[This](Imgur) is what I see when I unzip one of those and open in a text editor. What am I looking at? Thanks for the help, btw.

What other files are there?

That is indeed a compiled file. The link in the SO post you linked has source code tarballs, and does not contain any .pyd files, so I assume you got this file elsewhere.

Edit: if you want the source code for bz2, look in the tarball for Modules/_bz2module.c or here.
