How about just references in the PEP?  I presented a paper several years ago
at a Python workshop on a peephole optimizer for Python.  Also, Michael
Hudson has his no-longer-active bytecodehacks stuff:

    http://www.foretec.com/python/workshops/1998-11/proceedings/papers/montanaro/montanaro.html
    http://bytecodehacks.sourceforge.net/bch-docs/bch/index.html

I imagine there's other stuff as well.
