- Have you measured the difference in performance?
- Are you aware that attribute access is implemented as string lookup
in a dictionary?
i.e. when you write foo.bar, the interpreter looks for 'bar' in
foo.__dict__, and if it doesn't find it, then proceeds to look in
type(foo).__dict__. So in your code, if a header (with manager rhm)
has no 'allow' field and you do:
rhm.Allow
the interpreter looks up *two* dictionaries (rhm.__dict__ then
RequestHeadersManager.__dict__).
