Python's disassembler: How to inspect Python bytecode

The video tutorial explores Python bytecode, explaining how it is generated and used by the Python runtime. It introduces the 'dis' module for examining bytecode and demonstrates how to disassemble code to understand its efficiency. The tutorial compares the use of local and global variables, highlighting the impact on performance. It also discusses the difference between dedicated and generic opcodes, emphasizing the efficiency of dedicated opcodes in specific tasks.
