Re: [Python-Dev] Possible optimization for LOAD_FAST ?
OK, but is it mandatory? For example, in the above code, I can unroll the loop because I found that range is the usual built-in, 5 is a low-enough constant, How do you know xrange is xrange and not something else?

Maybe he wants his program to run faster. /snarky :D Aggressive optimizations can be enabled with explicit options, in order to leave normal debugger-prone code. If you use print statements for the bulk of your debugging (many people do), unrolling loops doesn't affect your debugging ability. Skip It's a common practice. Also IDEs helps a lot, and advanced interactive shells too (such as DreamPie).
