+dis +---

For the dis module there is also the change to dis.dis() itself from issue 6507 - you can now pass source strings directly to dis without needing to compile them first:

...

...

dis.dis("1 + 2") 1 0 LOAD_CONST 2 (3) 3 RETURN_VALUE

+The :mod:`dis` module gained two new functions for inspecting code, +:func:`~dis.code_info` and :func:`~dis.show_code`.  Both provide detailed code +object information for the supplied function, method, source code string or code +object.  The former returns a string and the latter prints it:: + +    >>> import dis, random +    >>> show_code(random.choice)

Typo here - missing a "dis." at the start of the line. Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan   |   ncoghlan@gmail.com   |   Brisbane, Australia
