I didn't have anything fancy in mind. I was just wondering whether it
makes sense to replace a block of code like
data = {'a' : 1, 'b' :2, 'c' : 3}
for i in someLargeList:
for name in ['a','b','c']:
result.append(data[name])
with somthing like
data = {'a' : 1, 'b' :2, 'c' : 3}
dataValues = [data[k] for k in ['a','b','c']
for i in someLargeList:
for index in [0,1,2]:
result.append(dataValues[index])
It sounds like it's probably not worth the effort in general, but might
be for extremely ultra-critical parts of code.
Thanks
