The proposal in your email seems incomplete
The proposal does not say anything about type((x=1, y=2)). I assume
it will be the same as the type currently returned by namedtuple(?, 'x
y'), but will these types be cached? Will type((x=1, y=2)) is
type((x=3, y=4)) be True?.
Yes, this is the key problem with this idea.
If the type of every namedtuple literal is unique, this is a waste of
memory and CPU time. Creating a new type is much more slower than
instantiating it, even without compiling. If support the global cache of
types, we have problems with mutability and life time. If types are
mutable (namedtuple classes are), setting the __doc__ or __name__
attributes of type((x=1, y=2)) will affect type((x=3, y=4)). How to
create two different named tuple types with different names and
docstrings? In Python 2 all types are immortal, in python 3 they can be
collected as ordinary objects, and you can create types dynamically
without a fear of spent too much memory. If types are cached, we should
take care about collecting unused types, this will significantly
complicate the implementation.
