[Python-Dev] SF patch 606098: fast dictionary lookup by name

[Raymond Hettinger]

Is there an interest in further development of Oren's idea:

speed-up access to non-locals by giving dictionaries a fast special
case lookup for failed searches with interned strings (the usual
case for access to builtins and globals)

The proof of concept code looked very promising to me.
It can be implemented a way that is easily disconnected
if a better approach is found.  This looks like low hanging
fruit.
