See Python before you code it

Memory model, call stack, list internals, dictionary hash tables, OOP class hierarchies — Python's invisible machinery made visible.

Animations included

6 concepts you'll see in 3D

Each animation runs in your browser. No video player — live WebGL rendered in real time.

Python memory model

Variables as labels pointing to objects in memory. Watch what happens during assignment, mutation, and garbage collection.

Call stack visualised

Function calls stacked as frames. Local variables shown inside each frame. Watch frames push and pop during recursion.

List vs tuple internals

A list as a dynamic array that resizes. A tuple as a fixed block. Watch memory allocation as you append items.

Dictionary hash table

Keys hashed to bucket positions. Collisions resolved. Watch lookups happen in O(1) with the bucket highlighted.

Class inheritance tree

A 3D tree of classes and methods. Method resolution order (MRO) animated as a path through the tree.

Generator and iterator

A generator function animated as a paused coroutine. Each `next()` call resumes from the yield point.

UEEP model — step 1

Understand before you build

The UEEP model starts with visual understanding. These animations are the Understand step — before any code, before any exercise, the concept must click visually.

Understand (visual first)
Execute (write the code)
Explain (teach someone)
Practice (spaced repetition)
