Python name lookups

[Dave]

Hello All,

As far as I understand, Python deals with a lot of
string objects, i.e. it looks up all names. Is there a
way to find out how many name lookup operations take
place in a Python program? Is it the name lookup
operation or hash operation that degrades performance?
What function does Python use for name lookup
operations? Is it the lookdict function in
Objects/dictobject.c?

Thank you for your help!
