A deep exploration of the CPython code-base with Philip Guo

If you haven't read it, Philip's PhD memoir (link: http://www.pgbovine.net/PhD-memoir.htm) is wonderful.

One of the ideas discussed in it is the importance of knowing your platform. He had an idea for a tool which many other people had before, but it was the deep knowledge of python interpreter that allowed him to create the tool that was actually usable (IncPy).
