CPython's list Implementation in C
CPython’s list is a contiguous array of pointers with a separate size and capacity, growing by about an eighth each time so appends stay O(1) amortized.
CPython's memoryview Implementation in C
CPython splits memoryview into a shared managed-buffer snapshot and a per-view copy of shape/strides, so slicing adjusts pointers instead of copying data.
CPython's Module Implementation in C
A Python module is a PyModuleObject with a dict as its namespace, plus optional per-module C state — and its tp_getattro is where lazy imports get resolved.
CPython's NoneType Implementation in C (None)
None is a single static immortal PyObject: no allocation, no refcounting, and identity comparison — plus a dedicated stack-ref encoding for the eval loop.
