Maybe you could also profit from diassembling Pythons bytecode into MNEmonics of the Python Virtual Machine ? http://docs.python.org/lib/module-dis.html Because "disassembling python scripts" with any other disassembler will not likely lead to something usefull: a) the .pyc and pyo files are in Python Bytecode, that is "assembler for the Python Virtual Machine Processor", disassemble with the mentioned module b) python2x.dll is in i386-Assembler, but contains the virtual machine. Understanding that will you will learn a lot of great programming concepts from some of the most brilliant minds on this planet; but will give you no hint to understand Python scripts, as they are running on top of that VM. Like disassembling the Hybrid Power Drive of a Lexus GS450h will teach you nothing about navigating from Berlin to Paris. Best wishes, Harald -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
