You can check these things for yourself: import dis dis.dis(function) will show you the byte code. But in general, I would expect not. CPython (that's the Python you probably use) doesn't do a lot of optimization apart from some simple constant folding. If you're interested in optimizing Python, you should look at the JIT optimizing Python compiler, PyPy. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
