Traceroute in 40 lines of Python
Does someone know such a nice breakup of code used to explain the Linux Kernel?
Or maybe I just have to look through the diffs, albeit without explanations.

I don't know about the Linux kernel, but David Hanson used exactly this approach to brilliant effect with "A Retargetable C Compiler", if you ever wanted to know how a compiler works in line-by-line detail.

In case there are others like me who were confused - this David Hanson (

) is not the same person as DHH of RoR fame.
