There are a bunch of docs about this, you could read them.  The program
is written about the way you would expect if you have worked on 
interpreters written in C before.

I don't think there has ever been any interest in this.  There is an
effort under way to rewrite Python in Python.  This is called PyPy
(you should be able to websearch for it easily) and should be much
more advanced than the C implementation.  It works now, under some
preliminary definition of "working", but it will be a while before it
is ready for wide deployment.
