One possible way to improve the situation is, that if we really believe
python cannot easily support such optimizations because the code is too
"dynamic", is to allow manual annotation of functions. For example, gcc
has allowed such annotations using __attribute__ for quite a while. This
would al

Actually, no. Constant folding *could* be done, but it currently isn't:

Hi Neal,
I don't believe that cpython currently does any of the optimizations you refer to below. That said, it is very reasonable to adopt "a style of coding that is highly readable, making the assumption that the compiler will do good things" when coding in Python. Python is one of the most h

I use cpython. I'm accustomed (from c++/gcc) to a style of coding that is
highly readable, making the assumption that the compiler will do good
things to optimize the code despite the style in which it's written. For
example, I assume constants are removed from loops. In general, an entity
is de
