Nothing about bytecode is part of the language spec. And CPython bytecode is version specific. If the CPython implementation changed from a virtual stack machine to a virtual register machine, as was once discussed, the stack-oriented byte code would be replaced by a register-oriented byte code or virtual machine language. Jython compiles Python code to JVM (Java Virtual Machine) bytecode. Parrot compile to Parrot bytecode. Ironman compiles, I presume, to .Net CL or whatever it's called. Terry J.
