You can't disassemble strings of python source (well, you can, but, as
you've seen, the results are not meaningful). You need to compile the
source first:
>>> code = compile('y=x+1','-', 'single')
>>> dis.dis(code)
1 0 LOAD_NAME 0 (x)
3 LOAD_CONST 0 (1)
6 BINARY_ADD
7 STORE_NAME 1 (y)
10 LOAD_CONST 1 (None)
13 RETURN_VALUE
You may well find these byte codes more meaningful. Note that there is a
list of opcodes at http://docs.python.org/lib/bytecodes.html
