translating Python to Assembler

[Wim Vander Schelden]

Python modules and scripts are normally not even compiled, if they have
been,
its probably just the Python interpreter packaged with the scripts and
resources.

My advice is that if you want to learn Python, is that you just read a book
about
it or read only resources. Learning Python from assembler is kind of...
strange.

Not only are you skipping several generations of programming languages,
spanned
over a period of 40 years, but the approach to programming in Python is so
fundamentally different from assembler programming that there is simply no
reason
to start looking at if from this perspective.

I truly hope you enjoy the world of high end programming languages, but
treat them
as such. Looking at them in a low-level representation or for a low-level
perspective
doesn't bear much fruits.

Kind regards,

Wim
