Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:
Just today, someone posted the result of dis.dis('somebytes') and did not
notice the error because dis blithely disassembles bytes as bytecodes, even in
3.x. (The person actually dissed a 2.x string).
>>> from dis import dis
>>> dis(b'cat')
0 DUP_TOPX 29793
It is a natural thing to do, so I hope this is put in 3.2.
Since the undocumented 'disassemble_string' now disassembles bytes, I think it
should be renamed '_disassemble_bytes' instead of '_disassemble_string'. This
would accord with the general effort to remove 2.x fossils from 3.x.
Aside from that, it looks ready, from a reading review, to apply and test: doc
addition, added tests, new function and else case, and rename.
