Maybe this is the correct list, as my inquiry is about how to learn how the current implementation works so that I could consider how to implement new features.

So, here's a modified question: If you want to learn how python works (not how to program in the python language), what's a productive way to proceed?

Well, the question is what you want to learn it for. If you want to learn in order to contribute, I suggest you pick an old bug on the bug tracker and try to solve it.

If you have a specific new feature in mind that you want to implement, I again suggest that you just start implementing it. If you don't know how, then you should ask on python-list how certain things are done that you might need for the feature, or you even explain to python-list readers what the feature is that you want to implement, and how people would go about implementing it.

Regards, Martin
