[Python-Dev] Doubt about closure/function generation in bytecode

[Andrea Griffini]

Is there any semantic difference between

    BUILD_TUPLE 0
    LOAD_CONST <code object ... >
    MAKE_CLOSURE 0

and

    LOAD_CONST <code object ...>
    MAKE_FUNCTION 0

?

In other words is there any difference between a function and a closure
that doesn't capture anything? Is it just a speed optimization for a common
case?
