For xdis: although "dis" handles within a given version of python there is nothing else out there that ecompases all released bytecode (and PyPy), Whereas in python disassembly and bytecode handling may get better over time for the current version, improvements here go backwards and extend to all prior bytecode versions. So you can manipulate back-level bytecode with the same convenience as current bytecode. But in addition to this it has extensive knowledge about Python magic numbers, and how to convert them into Python versions. And a facility for creating disassembly in a form that is amenable for a bytecode assembler. (I have a specific one in mind which is also unique, but that's another project though that I haven't listed.)
With regards to the bytecode decompiler it is awesome because it handles something like 25 versions of Python handling its language drift over. the years. It is demonstrably the best bytecode decompiler for Python that exists. (We check this by running over the Python's internal test suite).
