Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment:
+1 on exposing f,__builtins__. Of course, the thing I'd really want is a way to state that all references to builtins are meant to have the exact semantics of those builtins, so the compiler can translate e.g. len(x) into a new opcode that just calls PyObject_Size(). (I can dream, can't I?) Another dream: assume that globals that refer to modules, classes or functions don't change, so they can be cached more aggressively. I suppose enough checking of dict version tags can get us there, or at least close enough. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42990> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
