What would be the best way, if any, to obtain
the bytecode for a given loaded module?

I can get the source:
import inspect
import os
src = inspect.getsource(os)

but there is no ispect.getbytecode()  ;-)

The inspect API documentation says that code objects have "co_code", which
is a string of raw compiled bytecode.

Hope that helps!

Not very much, sorry. Because we now changed the problem into: "how to obtain the code object from a module".


Perhaps a bit of background is in order. For Pyro, I'm sending module byte codes across the wire if the other side needs it (the mobile code feature). However, this only works for modules that can be loaded from a file on disk (because I'm now reading the .pyc file that belongs to the module). When the receiving end in turn calls another Pyro object, it may have to send the module's bytecode again-- but that is no longer possible because the module has no associated file anymore! (It is considered to be a builtin module) But because it is *loaded*, there must be some way to get to the bytecodes, right?
