.. index:: deparse .. _deparse: Deparse (CPython bytecode deparser) ----------------------------------- **deparse** [options] [.] Options are: :: -p | --parent show parent node -P | --pretty show pretty output -A | --tree | --AST show abstract syntax tree (AST) -o | --offset [num] show deparse of offset NUM -h | --help give this help deparse around where the program is currently stopped. If no offset is given, we use the current frame offset. If `-p` is given, include parent information. If an '.' argument is given, deparse the entire function or main program you are in. The `-P` parameter determines whether to show the prettified as you would find in source code, or in a form that more closely matches a literal reading of the bytecode with hidden (often extraneous) instructions added. In some cases this may even result in invalid Python code. Output is colorized the same as source listing. Use `set highlight plain` to turn that off. Examples: +++++++++ :: deparse # deparse current location deparse --parent # deparse current location enclosing context deparse . # deparse current function or main deparse --offset 6 # deparse starting at offset 6 deparse --offsets # show all exect deparsing offsets deparse --AST # deparse and show AST .. seealso:: :ref:`disassemble `, :ref:`list `, and :ref:`set highlight `
