[Python-ideas] CPython Bytecode Assembler

[Brett Cannon]

Since bytecode is a CPython-specific implementaiton detail I don't know if
it makes sense to enshrine an assembler for it in the stdlib (if you were
to ask me today if I thought the dis module belonged in the stdlib I would
probably say "no", but I also know not everyone agrees with that view :) .
