There exist TWO highly successful, widely used, JIT compilers for Python. PyPy and Numba. Neither one of them would have any use whatsoever for this constantness. Or if you believe otherwise, get a developer of one of those to comment so. JIT'd Python simply is not slow, even compared to compiled languages. Searching for maybe-possibly-someday optimizations while ignoring the actual speed paths, is silly.
But I'll be moderate and only vote -100, 10x less negative than Paul Moore and Chris Angelico :-).

Vampiric capital and undead corporate persons abuse the lives and control the thoughts of homo faber. Ideas, once born, become abortifacients against new conceptions.
