| # CPython Internals Documentation |
| |
| The documentation in this folder is intended for CPython maintainers. |
| It describes implementation details of CPython, which should not be |
| assumed to be part of the Python language specification. These details |
| can change between any two CPython versions and should not be assumed |
| to hold for other implementations of the Python language. |
| |
| The core dev team attempts to keep this documentation up to date. If |
| it is not, please report that through the |
| [issue tracker](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues). |
