Using bytecode, not code objects

Why not?  The code object gives you all of these values directly.

But if you want to make your life unnecessarily hard, you can hack the
compiler module just upstream from the creation of the code object --
alter the newCodeObject() method in pyassem.py.

It's a pointless exercise, but maybe you'll have fun doing it or
perhaps learn not to avoid obvious, direct solutions to the problem at
hand.
