Python Repl in Python
Am I right in assuming that the Python shell is coded in Python? If so, where, might one find the source code? If I wanted to write a shell program that did things differently, could I just copy the code to new_shell.py, make a few changes, and then set up a bash alias 'python'='python3 new_shell'?

Also that alias would break non-interactive use.

There are various versions of Python. The most popular one is cpython, and the source code for that can be found here: cpython. If you want Python written in Python, check out PyPy.
