My response was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but I did restrict it to "lisp
implementation technology".  If someone on this list wants to learn
about efficient implementation techniques for a dynamically typed and
interactive language that might be ported to emacs lisp, they would be
better served by studying the v8 implementation than python's
internals.  Especially when it comes to, say, multi-threaded parallel
processing, garbage collection, specializing compiled code for
dynamically typed objects, and similar topics of interest.  IMNSHO.
