Francis MB added the comment: >From the two checks on Python/compile.c:
+ expr_ty meth = e->v.Call.func; [...] + /* Check [...] that + the call doesn't have keyword parameters. */ [...] + /* Check that there are no *varargs types of arguments. */ [...] I just wonder how many times those kind of checks/guards are done on the whole Cpython code base (the second one seems expensive). (Naive Idea): Wouldn't be some kind of fast function description (e.g. bit flags or 'e->v.Call.func.desc') generally helpful? The function description could have: 'has_keywords' or 'has_varargs', ...
