Unlike JVM byte code, CPython byte code is not a stable target. It can and does change from one minor version to the next.
So far, it has remained recognisable from one version to the next - someone used to reading (disassembled) CPython 2.7 bytecode would feel right at home reading CPython 3.11 bytecode, for example. But there's no guarantee that it will remain so, and with the faster-cpython project going on, we should probably expect it to change more in the future than we've been used to.
