Note that there are already three PEPs related to speeding dict-based namespace access; start with:
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0280/ which references the other two. The "normal path" through dict lookups got faster since there was a rash of those, to the extent that more complication elsewhere got much less attractive. It's possible that dict lookups got slower again since /then/, though. _______________________________________________ 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
