Hello all, I've got this question that has been nagging me for a few days now. What are the reasons for us to have co_code as read-only? I've been trying to get some info about it, but I kept hitting the wall.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I understand, co_code represents the compiled bytecode that should be run when, for instance, a function is called. Wouldn't it be beneficial for programmers to be able to change the bytecode in runtime? I mean, one can't, as far as I'm aware, change the bytecode by accident, so if the programmer would wish to change a function at runtime, he could do so at his own risk. If there is a higher reason behind the read-only property of co_code, I definitely fail to see it, and would like to know what it is. If not, why aren't we allowed to write into it? Thanks in advance, João Neves -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
