Presumably Nuitka does not depend on any byte code at all. Jython uses JVM byte codes. Iron Python uses .net VM bytecodes. While CPython's byte codes do take their form in part because of Python and its syntax. But that doesn't mean that Python itself as a language is necessarily dependent on the specifics of the CPython byte code interpreter and architecture, though I concede that for some aspects of Python, the behavior of the language is defined by the CPython implementation. The two aspects are definitely linked, but not as solidly as you seem to think. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
