James Bennett - A Bit about Bytes: Understanding Python Bytecode - PyCon 2018

Speaker: James Bennett
At some point every Python programmer sees Python bytecode files -- they're those '.pyc' files Python likes to leave behind after it runs. But have you ever wondered what's really going on in those files? Well, wonder no more! In this talk you'll learn what Python bytecode is and how it's used to execute your code, as well as how to decipher and read it, and how to reason about bytecode to understand the performance of your Python code.

great talk & speaker

[@mdegaris1972]

Fantastic talk! Was looking for a good explanation of Python bytecode, and this was absolutely perfect.

[@naeemkhoshnevis]

Excellent talk. Thanks for uploading.

Great talk....
Now i take care about byte code size while developing in python......haha..

[@ricardomunoz6365]

0:36 that sounded like a cult

[@RockyBernstein]

Even funnier and weirder is that the slide that follows when he is talking about the the clarity and clearness of Python isn't Python but a disassembly of Python bytecode which isn't so clear or readable. The dis module output can be cryptic, incomplete, and requires a talk like this to try to explain what it means.

[@chrysun9891]

I could not find the slides at both links you shared

[@user-ew3go5zd9s]

bien

[@MagnusAnand]

he should make audio books :)

[@faritmutugullin]

No slides for both links.

Farit Mutugullin Wery good, I will take cary about. Try to understand a bit more about Python virtual machine...

[@manojs157]

Its a good talk, but feels like adopting this practically seems conflicting with readability of code for humans.

[@nikolaikrot8516]

so much narcissism in python community. if you want an easy to read language, go for Ruby :)

[@cssensei610]

fuck off

[@theshermantanker7043]

@@cssensei610 Python and js were mistakes

Says the guy making the only narcissistic comment in the comment section.
