Talks - Irit Katriel: CPython's Compilation Pipeline

From the creator

Over the last couple of years, CPython's compiler was refactored. In version 3.13, we will have access from Python scripts to more of the compilation stages: Instead of the old 4-stage pipeline (source -- tokens -- AST -- code object), we will have a more refined pipeline (source -- tokens -- AST -- optimized AST -- pseudo bytecode -- optimized pseudo bytecode -- bytecode -- code object). This talk describes the new compilation pipeline of CPython 3.13 and the possibilities that it creates for CPython users, maintainers and educators. It presents Codoscope, a new vizualization tool that displays CPython's process of translating Python source code into an executable code object.
