I'd like to study the CPython implementations of lists and array.array instances for a personal project of mine, but I've very unfamiliar with the Python source code as it pertains to internals like this. Which files would I need to look at to do this, and are there a few particular functions/structures I should pay attention to? I'm just looking for a brief pointer in the right direction here, not a full explanation of how it works -- I'll get that from studying the source code. :-)

(Sorry if this isn't the best place to post, but I felt that a question about CPython's internals fit slightly better on python-dev rather than python-list, since this is where those familiar with that code are more likely to see the post.)
