This doesn't seem too clear. If you mean how the syntax and stuff is
processed, the language reference is probably where you should go:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/ref/ref.html
If you mean how things actually work internally, then you probably
should start with the docs for the dis module:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-dis.html
(Specifically, the byte code reference might be useful.)

The above aren't all that high-level but you probably aren't going to
find much better since this kind of thing isn't exactly an area of
general interest.
