Depends on what you want.  If you want to see the disassembled bytes
similar to what I cut out, see the dis module.  (e.g.,
dis.dis(foo_func))

If you want to know how the byte codes are created, it's mostly in
Python/compile.c.  If you want to know how the byte codes are executed,
it's mostly in Python/ceval.c.

All base Python objects implemented in C are under Objects/.  All
standard modules implemented in C are under Modules/.

Get the source and build it.  It's quite readable.
