Indeed, Python has sometimes been described as "pathologically dynamic". All that dynamism is handy sometimes, but it does get in the way of improving efficiency. Often discussions take place on python-dev about ways to selectively limit the dynamism to make some optimisation possible. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
