that also binds all attribute accesses all the way down into a single constant call e.g.

LOAD_FAST 0 LOAD_ATTR 'a' LOAD_ATTR 'b' LOAD_ATTR 'c' LOAD_ATTR 'd'

D'oh. I'm a moron - of course it can't do that. It'll do it for LOAD_GLOBAL followed by multiple LOAD_ATTR, and (I think) also for LOAD_NAME. Tim Delaney
