Note that there are already three PEPs related to speeding dict-based namespace access; start with:

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0280/ which references the other two. The "normal path" through dict lookups got faster since there was a rash of those, to the extent that more complication elsewhere got much less attractive. It's possible that dict lookups got slower again since /then/, though.

Thanks! Looks like i'm only proposing what is already there in pep-267 by Jeremy Hylton. http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0267/

cheers [sreeram;]
