I'm curious about some of the details of the internals of the Python interpreter:
I understand C from a hardware perspective.
x= y+ 1;
Move value from place y into a register
Add 1 to the value in the register
Move the addition's result to place x
The Python disassembly is baffling though.
>>> y= 3
>>> dis.dis('x=y+1')
0 SETUP_LOOP 31037 (to 31040)
3 STORE_SLICE+3
4 <49>
What are SETUP_LOOP and STORE_SLICE? What are these instructions?
