1: Binary to ASCII

python cursor.py

Take a closer look, in smaller chunks!

python ascii.py

2: Flipping bits

3: Exploring source-code

print("Hello, World!")

Save this to a .py file and run it.

4. Generating bytecode

python -m compileall helloworld.py

Look for a folder named __pycache__ and check for a .pyc file, which is typically tagged with your Python version number.

4: Back to Binary

python bin.py

Let's compare that to

binary_string="0110111001100101011101100110010101110010001000000110011101101111011011100110111001100001001000000110011101101001011101100110010100100000011110010110111101110101001000000111010101110000"
