Learn by reading code: Python standard library design decisions explained
A project you may want to look into adding is Tern [0]. I've had a good time reading through the code over the past couple of weeks, and have found it to be at least not "bad" code, and pretty easy to understand.
Specifically how they are untarring each container layer and creating a chroot jail to run commands inside is fairly self-contained and interesting.

Microsoft open sources Salus software bill of materials (SBOM) generation tool
> Do HN got a recommendation for other CLI based SBOM generators?
Try ORT https://github.com/oss-review-toolkit/ort (full disclosure I am one of its maintainers and also a the lead of the SPDX Defects/Security Profile).
If people have questions on SBOMs, comparing SCA/SBOM tools or ORT - feel free to reach out to me https://github.com/tsteenbe/
ORT plug below ;-)
ORT is much more than a SBOM generator though, it's a cli/library that enables you to safely use, integrate, modify and redistribute third party software including FOSS.
You can use ORT to:
1. Generate CycloneDX or SPDX SBOMs for your software project

OPEN source alternative to whitesource
Depends if you are interested in both the license and security side of things. There are tools like ORT (https://github.com/oss-review-toolkit/ort) that are quite powerful but have a little learning curve. I also know about initiatives like OpenChain and Double Open (https://github.com/doubleopen-project/doubleopen-publications/blob/master/publication.md#double-open-landscape-survey) that have information available.
