Depends on what you want. If you want to see the disassembled bytes
similar to what I cut out, see the dis module. (e.g.,
dis.dis(foo_func))

If you want to know how the byte codes are created, it's mostly in
Python/compile.c. If you want to know how the byte codes are executed,
it's mostly in Python/ceval.c.

All base Python objects implemented in C are under Objects/. All
standard modules implemented in C are under Modules/.

Get the source and build it. It's quite readable.
