Abstract
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This PEP attempts to summarize various approaches for avoiding the
|
||
|
|
dictionary lookup for accessing globals and built-ins in most
|
||
|
|
cases. There are several competing approaches, which originated
|
||
|
|
in historical order by authors Montanaro, Hylton, and Van Rossum.
|
||
|
|
The fourth author is added for his valuable feedback during all
|
||
|
|
stages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The expectation is that eventually one approach will be picked and
|
||
|
|
implemented; possibly multiple approaches will be prototyped
|
||
|
|
first.
