This makes me want to ask: is it difficult to modify a function's code? Even if it weren't possible whilst the function was executing (because then I would be returning to a function I just created, I guess?) Could I make another function which converted this LOAD_GLOBAL to LOAD_FAST? I agree that in general a function should have no side effects and I would like to know exactly what it is going to do, and that what I'm doing is unpythonic. My curiosity extends because I would like to get to know a bit more about python's internals. My gut tells me there has to be a way to achieve what I'm after - even if it the result is extremely ugly. Maybe it might involve applying a decorator to functions who use this functionality, who change the code so that these calls work?
