' is a Python dict, used as the pickle's memo. It may be mutated by dis(), if the pickle contains PUT or BINPUT opcodes. Passing the same memo object to another dis() call then allows disassembly to proceed across multiple pickles that were all created by the same pickler with the same memo. Ordinarily you don't need to worry about this. Optional arg 'indentlevel' is the number of blanks by which to indent a new MARK level. It defaults to 4. Optional arg 'annotate' if nonzero instructs dis() to add short description of the opcode on each line of disassembled output. The value given to 'annotate' must be an integer and is used as a hint for the column where annotation should start. The default value is 0, meaning no annotations. In addition to printing the disassembly, some sanity checks are made: + All embedded opcode arguments "make sense". + Explicit and implicit pop operations have enough items on the stack. + When an opcode implicitly refers to a markobject, a markobject is actually on the stack. + A memo entry isn't referenced before it's defined. + The markobject isn't stored in the memo. + A memo entry isn't redefined.
