Not sure. In the sense that you can "optimise" (refactor) it in the same way
you could do with C. Eg:
results = [0, 0, 0]
flags = [0, 1, 2, 3]
for flag in flags:
results = getflag(flag, results)
I skipped the constant variables, but that should be clear.
The only non-C thing here is the loop, but I would think that's pretty clear.
Note that flag takes on integer values here of course.
It could probably be done even more fancy/Pythonic, but I don't think there's a
reason to do that.
Of course, depending on the getflag function itself, you may be able to rewrite
things differently, but that's for another question I guess.
Cheers,
Evert
ps: I was going to comment on the indentation, but then spotted your other
email. I am going to comment on the subject line though ;-), because that's not
related to your actual question. A relevant subject helps a lot, among others
for web searches from other people later one.
