IMHO, that approach doesn't make sense to understand scripts or modules (except if you have some kind of super brain -- because Python is _very_ high level). It only does if you want to understand the Python compiler/interpreter you use. For compilers that output machine code directly this *may* make sense (but for more complex programs it will become very difficult). If you'd like to get a "low level" look into how things are done in Python, try the dis module. Using dis.dis, you can look at disassembled Python byte code.
