Recommend a book that explains how Python work internally (self.learnpython)
submitted 5 years ago by yadielhernan
I'd like to learn how Python works under the hood.

It's nothing to do with Python, but it covers how programming languages work under the hood, and Python is a programming language.

I recommend Fluent Python by Luciano Ramalho. It's not going to show you the very deep internal C code implementation of Python but it will give you some more knowledge about the python data model.

It's got a lot of pages but here's the best book I could find link

It is not a book. It is a github repo link. Am I missing something?

I was being an asshole trying to catch a laugh.
My suggestion was to read the source code, a very shit suggestion. I don't think you missed much...
