  • Parade of the PEPs

    ...Global Variable/Attribute Access Montanaro PEP 267 - Optimized Access to Module Namespaces - Hylton PEP 280 - Optimizing access to globals - van Rossum These three should be considered together; at most one of them can be implemented (or maybe a hybrid). I would like one of them to be implemented eventually, because I think it may have a big performance benefit: not only avoiding dict lookups for globals and builtins, but also recognizing certain builtins in the parser and generating ...

    ...global scope; to avoid the warning about bare exec, use exec...in... (a good idea anyway -- there's a possibility that bare exec will be deprecated in the future). Use of a global variable in a nested scope with the same name as a local variable in a surrounding scope. This will change in meaning with nested scopes: the name in the inner scope will reference the variable in the outer scope rather than the global of the same name. To avoid the warning, either rename the outer variable, or use a...
