-The :mod:`dis` module supports the analysis of Python :term:`bytecode` by disassembling
-it.  Since there is no Python assembler, this module defines the Python assembly
-language.  The Python bytecode which this module takes as an input is defined
-in the file  :file:`Include/opcode.h` and used by the compiler and the
