Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: 'Op' is just an abbreviation of 'operation'. So 'operation code' becomes 'opcode' and 'operation information' becomes 'opinfo'. The fact that it comes for the 'dis' module gives the context that the *kind* of operation we're talking about is a Python byte code instruction.
When people are hacking on bytecode in the future, they'll likely end up using get_opinfo() a fair bit, so swapping the succinct 'opinfo' for the verbose 'bytecode_instruction' strikes me as a poor trade-off. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11816> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
