This book is primarily intended for the following groups of people:
* Programmers who need to develop mutual embedding between C/C++ and Python, such as game developers using Python;
* Learners and users interested in the inner workings of Python, especially those with a C programming background;
* Professionals aiming to optimize the efficiency of the Python virtual machine; to my knowledge, there are some capable teams and individuals in China working on this kind of task;
* Learners of the C language who wish to gain knowledge from open-source projects. Python itself is an excellent C language project and is regarded as a model for modern dynamic languages. The book *Analysis of Python Source Code* serves as an outstanding guide for studying and researching the Python source code.
