The current code uses fast locals, Uh, wha? Did this change in Py3K? Python 2.x doesn't do this and can't do it without introducing backward incompatibility. In 2.x, class bodies do NOT use fast locals, any more than module bodies do. In any case, the performance within the class suite isn't especially important; it's rare that there are any loops within a class body, or that one creates classes within frequently-executed loops. _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
