Python Bytecode Inspector

This tool compiles Python files to bytecode and allows inspection of the generated bytecode.

Implementation

# bytecode_inspector.py code here...

Usage Examples

Compile and inspect closures.py

python bytecode_inspector.py closures.py

Inspect existing bytecode without recompiling

python bytecode_inspector.py closures.py --no-compile

Batch process multiple files

for file in *.py; do
  echo "Processing $file..."
  python bytecode_inspector.py "$file"
done
