Find souce code for eval() function Python

Question

I am trying to modify the source code for the eval() function, in my own file, so I need the source code.

I have tried writing eval with an error, but that just says error in . I tried using the inspect function, but that said "TypeError: is a built-in class ".

This is what I did for inspect:

import inspect
print(inspect.getsource(eval))

Can you tell me how to find it, or even just give me a link to github file?

Why do you want to modify eval? What are you trying to accomplish? — blhsing

Even though some python functions are written in python, most core functions are actually implemented in C.

Here is the source code for the eval() function.

Too bad I can't use it, since it is written in C

At the end of call chain, it finally uses PyEval_EvalCode or PyRun_StringFlags functions.
