Michael #4: PEP 709 – Inlined comprehensions

• by Carl Meyer
• Comprehensions are currently compiled as nested functions, which provides isolation of the comprehension’s iteration variable, but is inefficient at runtime.
• This PEP proposes to inline list, dictionary, and set comprehensions into the code where they are defined, and provide the expected isolation by pushing/popping clashing locals on the stack.
• This change makes comprehensions much faster: up to 2x faster for a microbenchmark of a comprehension alone.
