What do yo get for "name is 'string'" expressions? Or is that a wrong way too? On my system testing "if string is string" is slightly faster than "if True/ if False" expressions. But the actual different is so small as to be negligible. I'm just kind of curious why testing is objects isn't just as fast as testing is string?
