Optimized bytecode in exec statement

[Hermann Lauer]

Dear All,

while trying to optimize some unpack operations with self compiling 
code I wondered howto invoke the optimization in the exec statement.
Even starting with -O or -OO yields in Python 2.5.2 the same dis.dis code, which
is appended below.

My interest would be to reduce the LOAD_FAST ops of "s" with DUP_TOP on the stack
(are there hash lookups behind those ?) and of course to optimize the integer
arithmetics following below (removing +-0 etc).

Thanks for any ideas,
greetings
  Hermann

>>> g=r.rra.LAST3.getter(ds=0,row=0)

  def __init__(s):
    super(fa,s).__init__('d')

  def __call__(s,):
      return s.unpack_from(s.buf,5392+(((s.lastrow()-0)%2880)*3+0)*8)[0]
