Re: [Python-ideas] socket module: plain stuples vs named tuples

Would there be any benefit in making a C implementation available from Python?

Yes, at startup time point of view. Current Python namedtuple implementation uses `eval`. It means we can't cache bytecode in pyc files. For example, importing functools is not so fast and its because `_CacheInfo` namedtuple for `lru_cache`. And structseq is faster than Python namedtuple too. ref: http://bugs.python.org/issue28638#msg282412 Regards,
