32.12. dis
— Disassembler for Python bytecode¶
Source code: Lib/dis.py
The dis
module supports the analysis of CPython bytecode by
disassembling it. The CPython bytecode which this module takes as an input is
defined in the file Include/opcode.h
and used by the compiler and the
interpreter.
CPython implementation detail: Bytecode is an implementation detail of the CPython interpreter. No guarantees are made that bytecode will not be added, removed, or changed between versions of Python. Use of this module should not be considered to work across Python VMs or Python releases.
Changed in version 3.6: Use 2 bytes for each instruction. Previously the number of bytes varied by instruction.
Example: Given the function myfunc()
:
def myfunc(alist):
return len(alist)
the following command can be used to display the disassembly of
myfunc()
:
>>> dis.dis(myfunc)
2 0 LOAD_GLOBAL 0 (len)
2 LOAD_FAST 0 (alist)
4 CALL_FUNCTION 1
6 RETURN_VALUE
(The “2” is a line number).
32.12.1. Bytecode analysis¶
New in version 3.4.
The bytecode analysis API allows pieces of Python code to be wrapped in a
Bytecode
object that provides easy access to details of the compiled
code.
-
class
dis.
Bytecode
(x, *, first_line=None, current_offset=None)¶ Analyse the bytecode corresponding to a function, generator, method, string of source code, or a code object (as returned by
compile()
).This is a convenience wrapper around many of the functions listed below, most notably
get_instructions()
, as iterating over aBytecode
instance yields the bytecode operations asInstruction
instances.If first_line is not
None
, it indicates the line number that should be reported for the first source line in the disassembled code. Otherwise, the source line information (if any) is taken directly from the disassembled code object.If current_offset is not
None
, it refers to an instruction offset in the disassembled code. Setting this meansdis()
will display a “current instruction” marker against the specified opcode.-
classmethod
from_traceback
(tb)¶ Construct a
Bytecode
instance from the given traceback, setting current_offset to the instruction responsible for the exception.
-
codeobj
¶ The compiled code object.
-
first_line
¶ The first source line of the code object (if available)
-
dis
()¶ Return a formatted view of the bytecode operations (the same as printed by
dis.dis()
, but returned as a multi-line string).
-
info
()¶ Return a formatted multi-line string with detailed information about the code object, like
code_info()
.
-
classmethod
Example:
>>> bytecode = dis.Bytecode(myfunc)
>>> for instr in bytecode:
... print(instr.opname)
...
LOAD_GLOBAL
LOAD_FAST
CALL_FUNCTION
RETURN_VALUE
32.12.2. Analysis functions¶
The dis
module also defines the following analysis functions that convert
the input directly to the desired output. They can be useful if only a single
operation is being performed, so the intermediate analysis object isn’t useful:
-
dis.
code_info
(x)¶ Return a formatted multi-line string with detailed code object information for the supplied function, generator, method, source code string or code object.
Note that the exact contents of code info strings are highly implementation dependent and they may change arbitrarily across Python VMs or Python releases.
New in version 3.2.
-
dis.
show_code
(x, *, file=None)¶ Print detailed code object information for the supplied function, method, source code string or code object to file (or
sys.stdout
if file is not specified).This is a convenient shorthand for
print(code_info(x), file=file)
, intended for interactive exploration at the interpreter prompt.New in version 3.2.
Changed in version 3.4: Added file parameter.
-
dis.
dis
(x=None, *, file=None)¶ Disassemble the x object. x can denote either a module, a class, a method, a function, a generator, a code object, a string of source code or a byte sequence of raw bytecode. For a module, it disassembles all functions. For a class, it disassembles all methods (including class and static methods). For a code object or sequence of raw bytecode, it prints one line per bytecode instruction. Strings are first compiled to code objects with the
compile()
built-in function before being disassembled. If no object is provided, this function disassembles the last traceback.The disassembly is written as text to the supplied file argument if provided and to
sys.stdout
otherwise.Changed in version 3.4: Added file parameter.
-
dis.
distb
(tb=None, *, file=None)¶ Disassemble the top-of-stack function of a traceback, using the last traceback if none was passed. The instruction causing the exception is indicated.
The disassembly is written as text to the supplied file argument if provided and to
sys.stdout
otherwise.Changed in version 3.4: Added file parameter.
-
dis.
disassemble
(code, lasti=-1, *, file=None)¶ -
dis.
disco
(code, lasti=-1, *, file=None)¶ Disassemble a code object, indicating the last instruction if lasti was provided. The output is divided in the following columns:
the line number, for the first instruction of each line
the current instruction, indicated as
-->
,a labelled instruction, indicated with
>>
,the address of the instruction,
the operation code name,
operation parameters, and
interpretation of the parameters in parentheses.
The parameter interpretation recognizes local and global variable names, constant values, branch targets, and compare operators.
The disassembly is written as text to the supplied file argument if provided and to
sys.stdout
otherwise.Changed in version 3.4: Added file parameter.
-
dis.
get_instructions
(x, *, first_line=None)¶ Return an iterator over the instructions in the supplied function, method, source code string or code object.
The iterator generates a series of
Instruction
named tuples giving the details of each operation in the supplied code.If first_line is not
None
, it indicates the line number that should be reported for the first source line in the disassembled code. Otherwise, the source line information (if any) is taken directly from the disassembled code object.New in version 3.4.
-
dis.
findlinestarts
(code)¶ This generator function uses the
co_firstlineno
andco_lnotab
attributes of the code object code to find the offsets which are starts of lines in the source code. They are generated as(offset, lineno)
pairs. See Objects/lnotab_notes.txt for theco_lnotab
format and how to decode it.Changed in version 3.6: Line numbers can be decreasing. Before, they were always increasing.
-
dis.
findlabels
(code)¶ Detect all offsets in the code object code which are jump targets, and return a list of these offsets.
-
dis.
stack_effect
(opcode[, oparg])¶ Compute the stack effect of opcode with argument oparg.
New in version 3.4.

POP_TOP
.
-
CONTINUE_LOOP
(target)¶ Continues a loop due to a
continue
statement. target is the address to jump to (which should be aFOR_ITER
instruction).
-
SET_ADD
(i)¶ Calls
set.add(TOS1[-i], TOS)
. Used to implement set comprehensions.
-
LIST_APPEND
(i)¶ Calls
list.append(TOS[-i], TOS)
. Used to implement list comprehensions.
-
MAP_ADD
(i)¶ Calls
dict.setitem(TOS1[-i], TOS, TOS1)
. Used to implement dict comprehensions.New in version 3.1.
For all of the SET_ADD
, LIST_APPEND
and MAP_ADD
instructions, while the added value or key/value pair is popped off, the
container object remains on the stack so that it is available for further
iterations of the loop.
-
RETURN_VALUE
¶ Returns with TOS to the caller of the function.
-
SETUP_ANNOTATIONS
¶ Checks whether
__annotations__
is defined inlocals()
, if not it is set up to an emptydict
. This opcode is only emitted if a class or module body contains variable annotations statically.New in version 3.6.
-
IMPORT_STAR
¶ Loads all symbols not starting with
'_'
directly from the module TOS to the local namespace. The module is popped after loading all names. This opcode implementsfrom module import *
.
-
POP_BLOCK
¶ Removes one block from the block stack. Per frame, there is a stack of blocks, denoting nested loops, try statements, and such.
-
POP_EXCEPT
¶ Removes one block from the block stack. The popped block must be an exception handler block, as implicitly created when entering an except handler. In addition to popping extraneous values from the frame stack, the last three popped values are used to restore the exception state.
-
END_FINALLY
¶ Terminates a
finally
clause. The interpreter recalls whether the exception has to be re-raised, or whether the function returns, and continues with the outer-next block.
-
LOAD_BUILD_CLASS
¶ Pushes
builtins.__build_class__()
onto the stack. It is later called byCALL_FUNCTION
to construct a class.
-
SETUP_WITH
(delta)¶ This opcode performs several operations before a with block starts. First, it loads
__exit__()
from the context manager and pushes it onto the stack for later use byWITH_CLEANUP
. Then,__enter__()
is called, and a finally block pointing to delta is pushed. Finally, the result of calling the enter method is pushed onto the stack. The next opcode will either ignore it (POP_TOP
), or store it in (a) variable(s) (STORE_FAST
,STORE_NAME
, orUNPACK_SEQUENCE
).New in version 3.2.
-
WITH_CLEANUP_START
¶ Cleans up the stack when a
with
statement block exits. TOS is the context manager’s__exit__()
bound method. Below TOS are 1–3 values indicating how/why the finally clause was entered:SECOND =
None
(SECOND, THIRD) = (
WHY_{RETURN,CONTINUE}
), retvalSECOND =
WHY_*
; no retval below it(SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH) = exc_info()
In the last case,
TOS(SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH)
is called, otherwiseTOS(None, None, None)
. Pushes SECOND and result of the call to the stack.
-
WITH_CLEANUP_FINISH
¶ Pops exception type and result of ‘exit’ function call from the stack.
If the stack represents an exception, and the function call returns a ‘true’ value, this information is “zapped” and replaced with a single
WHY_SILENCED
to preventEND_FINALLY
from re-raising the exception. (But non-local gotos will still be resumed.)
All of the following opcodes use their arguments.
-
STORE_NAME
(namei)¶ Implements
name = TOS
. namei is the index of name in the attributeco_names
of the code object. The compiler tries to useSTORE_FAST
orSTORE_GLOBAL
if possible.
-
DELETE_NAME
(namei)¶ Implements
del name
, where namei is the index intoco_names
attribute of the code object.
-
UNPACK_SEQUENCE
(count)¶ Unpacks TOS into count individual values, which are put onto the stack right-to-left.
-
UNPACK_EX
(counts)¶ Implements assignment with a starred target: Unpacks an iterable in TOS into individual values, where the total number of values can be smaller than the number of items in the iterable: one of the new values will be a list of all leftover items.
The low byte of counts is the number of values before the list value, the high byte of counts the number of values after it. The resulting values are put onto the stack right-to-left.
-
STORE_ATTR
(namei)¶ Implements
TOS.name = TOS1
, where namei is the index of name inco_names
.
-
DELETE_ATTR
(namei)¶ Implements
del TOS.name
, using namei as index intoco_names
.
-
STORE_GLOBAL

BUILD_MAP
(count)¶ Pushes a new dictionary object onto the stack. Pops
2 * count
items so that the dictionary holds count entries:{..., TOS3: TOS2, TOS1: TOS}
.Changed in version 3.5: The dictionary is created from stack items instead of creating an empty dictionary pre-sized to hold count items.

call syntax. The stack item at positioncount + 2
should be the corresponding callablef
.New in version 3.5.
Changed in version 3.6: The position of the callable is determined by adding 2 to the opcode argument instead of encoding it in the second byte of the argument.

STORE_DEREF
(i)¶ Stores TOS into the cell contained in slot i of the cell and free variable storage.
-
DELETE_DEREF
(i)¶ Empties the cell contained in slot i of the cell and free variable storage. Used by the

-
RAISE_VARARGS
(argc)¶ Raises an exception. argc indicates the number of arguments to the raise statement, ranging from 0 to 3. The handler will find the traceback as TOS2, the parameter as TOS1, and the exception as TOS.
-
CALL_FUNCTION
(argc)¶ Calls a callable object with positional arguments. argc indicates the number of positional arguments. The top of the stack contains positional arguments, with the right-most argument on top. Below the arguments is a callable object to call.
CALL_FUNCTION
pops all arguments and the callable object off the stack, calls the callable object with those arguments, and pushes the return value returned by the callable object.Changed in version 3.6: This opcode is used only for calls with positional arguments.
-
CALL_FUNCTION_KW
(argc)¶ Calls a callable object with positional (if any) and keyword arguments. argc indicates the total number of positional and keyword arguments. The top element on the stack contains a tuple of keyword argument names. Below that are keyword arguments in the order corresponding to the tuple. Below that are positional arguments, with the right-most parameter on top. Below the arguments is a callable object to call.
CALL_FUNCTION_KW
pops all arguments and the callable object off the stack, calls the callable object with those arguments, and pushes the return value returned by the callable object.Changed in version 3.6: Keyword arguments are packed in a tuple instead of a dictionary, argc indicates the total number of arguments.
-
CALL_FUNCTION_EX
(flags)¶ Calls a callable object with variable set of positional and keyword arguments. If the lowest bit of flags is set, the top of the stack contains a mapping object containing additional keyword arguments. Below that is an iterable object containing positional arguments and a callable object to call.
BUILD_MAP_UNPACK_WITH_CALL
andBUILD_TUPLE_UNPACK_WITH_CALL
can be used for merging multiple mapping objects and iterables containing arguments. Before the callable is called, the mapping object and iterable object are each “unpacked” and their contents passed in as keyword and positional arguments respectively.CALL_FUNCTION_EX
pops all arguments and the callable object off the stack, calls the callable object with those arguments, and pushes the return value returned by the callable object.New in version 3.6.
-
MAKE_FUNCTION
(argc)¶ Pushes a new function object on the stack. From bottom to top, the consumed stack must consist of values if the argument carries a specified flag value

BUILD_SLICE
(argc)¶ Pushes a slice object on the stack. argc must be 2 or 3. If it is 2,
slice(TOS1, TOS)
is pushed; if it is 3,slice(TOS2, TOS1, TOS)
is pushed. See theslice()
built-in function for more information.
-
EXTENDED_ARG
(ext)¶ Prefixes any opcode which has an argument too big to fit into the default two bytes. ext holds two additional bytes which, taken together with the subsequent opcode’s argument, comprise a four-byte argument, ext being the two most-significant bytes.
-
FORMAT_VALUE
(flags)¶ Used for implementing formatted literal strings (f-strings). Pops an optional fmt_spec from the stack, then a required value. flags is interpreted as follows:
(flags & 0x03) == 0x00
: value is formatted as-is.(flags & 0x03) == 0x01
: callstr()
on value before formatting it.(flags & 0x03) == 0x02
: callrepr()
on value before formatting it.(flags & 0x03) == 0x03
: callascii()
on value before formatting it.(flags & 0x04) == 0x04
: pop fmt_spec from the stack and use it, else use an empty fmt_spec.
Formatting is performed using
PyObject_Format()
. The result is pushed on the stack.New in version 3.6.
-
HAVE_ARGUMENT
¶ This is not really an opcode. It identifies the dividing line between opcodes which don’t use their argument and those that do (
< HAVE_ARGUMENT
and>= HAVE_ARGUMENT
, respectively).Changed in version 3.6: Now every instruction has an argument, but opcodes
< HAVE_ARGUMENT
