Does Python (or psyco) already do this optimisation?

[Mike C. Fletcher]

Okay.  That answers whether base Python (non-psyco) currently does this. 
 Thank-you for confirming what I'd assumed regarding the current operation.

Any idea (anyone) whether the outlined approach has been attempted for 
global-variable access optimisation?  i.e. is this an explored and 
deemed-dead path, or something new?

Enjoy,
Mike
