Take a look at http://python.org/sf/606098 

This patch speeds up dictionary lookup by name enough to make schemes 
like PEPs 266, 267 and 280 quite unnecessary. I know Guido likes the 
idea but the implementation is still far from complete. It does 
demonstrate the concepts and attainable performance. Unfortunately, I 
don't have time for this. if you or anyone else want to work on it 
I'll be glad to help.
