Or study the current CPython rpn stack machine.

 >>> from dis import dis

 >>> def f(a,b,c): return (a+b)*c

 >>> dis(f)
   1           0 LOAD_FAST                0 (a)
               3 LOAD_FAST                1 (b)
               6 BINARY_ADD
               7 LOAD_FAST                2 (c)
              10 BINARY_MULTIPLY
              11 RETURN_VALUE
