[Chicago] Common mistakes that can slow down Python

[Tathagata Dasgupta]

Hello beautiful Pythonistas of Chitown,

I keep going back to Raymond Hettinger's "Transforming Code into Beautiful,
Idiomatic Python" (1,2) talk from last PyCon, and wonder if is there more
to it. Its fun exercise doing cProfile/timeit -ing them ...

I added a question on quora [
https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-common-mistakes-that-could-slow-down-your-Python-scripts].
Stackoverflow probably wouldn't have entertained such an open ended
question.

Got some interesting answers ... What do you guys think?
Do you recall refactoring cruft that added jetpacks to your code ;)?
