The bytecode spec is not part of the Python spec, it's an
implementation detail.  Jython, e.g., doesn't use bytecode.  Neither
do various systems that translate Python source code to C or machine
code.

Unfortunately I'm going to have to pull out of this thread -- I'm so
far behind on my email that I can't afford trying to understand this
discussion.
