[Python-ideas] Dynamic code NOPing

For the logging module it will be extremely useful if Python included a way to disactivate processing certain blocks to avoid making sacrifices between extensive logging harness and performance. For example, instead of writing: if log.DEBUG==True: log(factorial(2**15)) It should be possible to just write: log(factorial(2**15)) if if log() is an instance of some Nopable class, the statement in log's braces is not executed. -- anatoly t.
