Bytecode Disassembly in Python

PythonInternals & IntrospectionDis Moduleadvanced

What this snippet does

dis compiles Python code to bytecode and prints the VM instructions, revealing execution details.

Expected output

  2           0 RESUME                   0
  3           2 LOAD_FAST                0 (a)
              4 LOAD_FAST                1 (b)
              6 BINARY_OP                0 (+)
             10 RETURN_VALUE

Why practise typing this

Typing internals & introspection code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Python uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
