I vaguely remember some years ago someone proposing a patch that used metaclasses to avoid using exec() (I think it was to benefit PyPy or one of the JIT-backed interpreters). Would that work to remove the need for exec() while keeping the code in pure Python?
The aenum library [1] uses the same techniques as Enum for a metaclass-based namedtuple. I don't expect it to be faster, but somebody could do the benchmarks and then we'd know for sure. ;)
