I think it would be good to: 1) have some document that explains the general design and main (internal) functions of the module (e.g. a PEP); I don't think that such a document needs to be a PEP; PEPs are usually intended where there is significant discussion expected, not just to explain things. A README file or a Wiki page would be fine, as long as it's sufficiently comprehensive.

timsort.txt and dictnotes.txt may be useful precedents for the kind of thing that is useful on that front. IIRC, the pymalloc stuff has a massive embedded comment, which can also work.

Cheers, Nick.
