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

Typo here - missing a "dis." at the start of the line.

Cheers,
Nick.
