Almost all Python code is distributed as .py files, which is the actual
source, so you shouldn't have to look far to find it.

Start with the standard distribution: look under your /python/lib folder
(adjust path to your own situation) and check it out: more code than you're
likely to want to read right now. :-)

Also download just about *any* Python program, starting from links on 
www.python.org, or searching at SourceForge.net, and you'll find lots
of source to peruse.

Also make sure you've followed through the tutorial and other beginner
materials, again linked from www.python.org.
