I wanted to know how the max() builtin function works. So I tried to read the source code at svn.python.org, but I couldn’t find the __builtin__ module. It should be in __builtin__.py, right?
Can somebody tell me where to find the source code for this module? Is this available in ubuntu linux (which has the 2.6 version)?
__builtin__as its name implies, refers to the special module containing functions and classes built in to the language itself. The implementation of these functions is in C, not Python. (Specifically, in thebltinmodule.csource file.)
