Python Runtime¶
Explain Python behavior through objects, bytecode, allocation, the interpreter, and measured runtime evidence.

Senior --> Pro[CPython operations and governance]
| Level | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Junior | Predict names, values, mutation, and resource lifetime. |
| Middle | Inspect bytecode, allocations, iterators, and copies. |
| Senior | Diagnose CPU, memory, startup, and GIL-sensitive workloads. |
| Professional | Govern interpreter versions and runtime budgets. |
Practice: prove one runtime claim with dis, tracemalloc, or a profile.
