Terry Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu>:

Or is ceval intended to be robust against random strings masquerading as valid byte code (which would seem require an InvalidByteCode exception).

As long as it's possible to attempt to execute arbitrary strings as bytecode, I'd say ceval should be robust against this.
