2.9 bytecodehacks.assemble

Just when you thought bytecodehacks couldn't provide anything more unlikely - your chance to bypass that pesky compiler and write directly to the virtual machine. Currently very limited; no jumps(!), default arguments, * or ** args or classes. But it's a proof of concept.

Assembly input looks like this:

IMPORT_NAME sys
LOAD_ATTR path
PRINT_ITEM
PRINT_NEWLINE

LOAD_CONST !1
STORE_NAME frig

function foo x
    LOAD_FAST   x
    LOAD_CONST  !1
    BINARY_ADD  
    STORE_FAST  y
    LOAD_FAST   y
    LOAD_FAST   y
    BINARY_ADD
    RETURN_VALUE
end

function n
 LOAD_GLOBAL	frig
 DUP_TOP
 BINARY_ADD
 RETURN_VALUE
end

LOAD_CONST !None
RETURN_VALUE

and then the following code can be used to make a module from the above (assuming the above is in a file called ``assdemo.pya''):

from bytecodehacks import assemble

mod = assemble.assemble("assdemo.pya")

There's not going to be any more detailed documentation for a while, because its all probably going to change at least once. I need to work out a syntax for jumps, for starters.
