About the project
Source code of the reference Python implementation (CPython), including the interpreter, standard library and build tooling. Aimed at language developers and anyone building Python from source.
Useful for
- Build Python from source with --enable-optimizations and --with-lto
- Run make test to verify the interpreter after changes
- Build a debug interpreter via configure --with-pydebug

Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-14 (UTC), 10:58–11:51: 77747 → 77750 stars (+3). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +34 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 2.7× that of the previous week and a half.
- GitHub Trending Python today: #7, +127 stars.
- Hacker News: “Python 3.15” — 316 points, 4 days ago.
- About 280 forks a day — people are taking the code.
Measured growth: the last 7 completed days
New stars over 7 days: 236. +6% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust
Unusual star pattern. The magnitude is lowered, not zeroed:
- Stars arrived in one batch on a single day (412) and stopped right after: 30 over the next two days. Real interest usually fades gradually.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
