The official Python glossary at https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html lists short but helpful definitions the Python ecosystem uses. The official Python documentation at https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html describes Python objects in greater detail.
Nina Zakharenko’s PyCon 2016 talk, “Memory Management in Python— The Basics,” at https://youtu.be/F6u5rhUQ6dU, explains many details about how Python’s garbage collector works. The official Python documentation at https://docs.python.org/3/library/gc.html has more information about the gar- bage collector.
The Python mailing list discussion about making dictionaries ordered in Python 3.6 makes for good reading as well and is at https://mail.python.org/ pipermail/python-dev/2016-September/146327.html.
