In the past, I think the analysis was always "no". It adds an opcode, so increases the size of the switch, causing more pressure on the cache, with an overall questionable effect. As for measuring the effect of the change: how often does that pattern occur in the standard library? (compared to what total number of LOAD_ATTR) Regards, Martin _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
