Python bytecode explained

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/programming

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • pyasmtool

    Explores the python bytecode, provides some tools to access it for fun and profit.

  • Pyjion

    Pyjion - A JIT for Python based upon CoreCLR (by tonybaloney)

  • additional tools to improve python performance are also e.g. microsofts Pyjion, which enables python jit using their .net platform (apparently super easy to use, makes code twice as fast), and there is a proposal to remove the GIL (which makes parallel code a lot faster, but has some big downsides)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • sbcl

    Mirror of Steel Bank Common Lisp (SBCL)'s official repository

  • See e.g. CMUCL and its latter day fork SBCL, type inferencing native lisp compilers (which also had a lot of influence on the direction of various other Lisp and other language compilers).

  • mypyc

    Compile type annotated Python to fast C extensions

  • mypyc does compile python whilst leveraging the type hints: https://github.com/mypyc/mypyc
