While working on a patch and navigating through CPython, I got curious as to how the codebase has grown over the years. Using an interesting tool I found on the internet to *count lines of code* ([cloc](https://github.com/AlDanial/cloc)), some scripts, and some patience (thank goodness for multiple cores, or I’d be at this all day), I amassed a [1,392 commit dataset.](https://gist.github.com/StanFromIreland/bd33d5ee3c59c54cbe1f3bad2fbdb4e9) With that, and some Git spelunking for the annotations, I was able to generate the above graph.

Many thanks to Tim and Ned for their help with this little project! I plan to tidy my scripts and upload them to a repository sometime in the near future. Please feel free to use my dataset :-)
