Byte code descriptions somewhere?

[Cem Karan]

Cool, thank you!  Quick experimentation suggests that I don't need to worry about marking anything for garbage collection, correct?  The next question is, how do I create a stream of byte codes that can be interpreted by CPython directly?  I don't mean 'use the compile module', I mean writing my own byte array with bytes that CPython can directly interpret.

Thanks,
Cem Karan
