There are many bytecode changes in 3.6, but seems most of them are not documented (besides short line in _bootstrap_external.py).

* The bytecode now uses 16 bit units (wordcode) (issue26647).

* Added FORMAT_VALUE opcode (issue25483).

* Added BUILD_CONST_KEY_MAP opcode (issue27140).

* Added BUILD_STRING opcode (issue27078).

* Added BUILD_TUPLE_UNPACK_WITH_CALL opcode (issue28257).

* Added SETUP_ANNOTATIONS and STORE_ANNOTATION opcodes (issue27985).

* Changed CALL_FUNCTION, CALL_FUNCTION_KW and BUILD_MAP_UNPACK_WITH_CALL opcodes, removed CALL_FUNCTION_VAR, CALL_FUNCTION_VAR_KW opcodes, added CALL_FUNCTION_EX opcode (issue27213).

* Changed MAKE_FUNCTION opcode, removed MAKE_CLOSURE opcode (issue27095).

* Not related to the bytecode itself: lineno delta of code.co_lnotab now is signed (issue26107).

There are third-party projects that need correct information about bytecode changes.

SETUP_ANNOTATIONS and STORE_ANNOTATION opcodes are documented in documentation for dis module. Should they be documented also somewhere else?
msg281798 - (view) Author: Serhiy Storchaka (serhiy.storchaka) * (Python committer) Date: 2016-11-26 20:29
I think only the mention in What's News is needed. Elvis already provided a patch in issue28635.

But the documentation of other opcodes may be missed or outdated.
msg282577 - (view) Author: Serhiy Storchaka (serhiy.storchaka) * (Python committer) Date: 2016-12-06 23:31
Because nobody proposed a patch, here is my attempt. Following patch documents opcodes CALL_FUNCTION, CALL_FUNCTION_KW and CALL_FUNCTION_EX.
msg286212 - (view) Author: Serhiy Storchaka (serhiy.storchaka) * (Python committer) Date: 2017-01-24 19:58
Several third-party bytecode manipulating projects still are not updated to 3.6. Correct documentation is needed for them. Could anyone please make a review of the patch (or maybe totally rewrite it)?
msg286215 - (view) Author: Brett Cannon (brett.cannon) * (Python committer) Date: 2017-01-24 20:42
I'll review your patch sometime this week, Serhiy.
msg288300 - (view) Author: Matthieu Dartiailh (mdartiailh) * Date: 2017-02-21 13:36
Anyone to review this. Working on bytecode manipulation for different projects I wish I had known this existed before.
msg288358 - (view) Author: Serhiy Storchaka (serhiy.storchaka) * (Python committer) Date: 2017-02-22 14:23
Thank you for your patches Ivan. Feel free to rewrite my patch, I'm sure it uses poor English.

Ping.
msg289250 - (view) Author: Brett Cannon (brett.cannon) * (Python committer) Date: 2017-03-08 18:19
If the "ping" is for me, I spent my open source day last week reviewing the dependency for this issue (and other stuff) so I plan to get to this PR this Friday.
msg289256 - (view) Author: Ivan Levkivskyi (levkivskyi) * (Python committer) Date: 2017-03-08 20:47
It looks like there are still few things that are not covered in two open PRs. I will add these in an additional PR in the next few days.
msg289419 - (view) Author: Brett Cannon (brett.cannon) * (Python committer) Date: 2017-03-10 23:09
I have merged all the PRs that Ivan had open. I'll leave the issue open since Ivan said he had another PR he wanted to create.

Thanks Brett!

I think this could be closed now.
