Hi Damiem, It's good to see your enthusiasm for optimization. However, I can't help but think your efforts could be better directed. Have you looked at the CALL_ATTR work that was done at PyCon? There was also some work done on optimizing descriptors. I think working on global and builtin namespace optimizations could payoff big. There was talk about disallowing shadowing builtin names. That would allow getting rid of runtime lookups in dictionaries and even inlining of builtin functions. I have a patch on SF that could use some polish. Also, working on the new AST compiler would help us. It will be much easier to add new optimization passes after that work is completed. > begin 666 source.zip > M4$L#!!0````(`.0E6RZ%[DUZ.%X``)9\`0`'````8V5V86PN8^Q]?5<;.;+W [...] Yikes. Next time you should just upload a patch to Source Forge. Neil
