You can't dissassemble them, since they aren't ever converted
to assembler and assembled. Python is compiled into bytecode
for a virtual machine (either the Java VM or the Python VM or
the .NET VM).

Trying to find assembly language stuff to look at is futile.
Python doesn't get compiled into assembly language.
If you want to learn Python, then read a book on Python.
