Is there any semantic difference between

BUILDTUPLE 0 LOADCONST <code object ... > MAKECLOSURE 0 and LOADCONST <code object ...> MAKEFUNCTION 0 ? In other words is there any difference between a function and a closure that doesn't capture anything? Is it just a speed optimization for a common case?

It probably has more to do with the fact that nested scopes with added much later in Python's history than functions.
