📄 6% (0.06x) speedup for __getattr__ in quantecon/ce_util.py

⏱️ Runtime : 41.8 microseconds 39.5 microseconds (best of 171 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization adds an explicit __all__ tuple definition at module level instead of relying on an undefined __all__ variable. This provides two key performance benefits:

What was optimized:

  • Added __all__ = ('ckron', 'gridmake') at module level as a tuple instead of leaving it undefined

Why it's faster:

  1. Eliminates NameError overhead: The original code referenced __all__ without defining it, causing Python to search through local, global, and builtin namespaces before raising a NameError. The optimized version has __all__ readily available in the global namespace.

  2. Tuple membership testing: Tuples have slightly faster membership testing (name not in __all__) compared to other collection types for small, constant sets like this two-element collection.

Performance impact:
The 5% overall speedup is most pronounced in test cases that access valid attributes (like test_basic_ckron_access showing 18.1% improvement) because they execute the name not in __all__ check successfully and proceed to the warning logic. Invalid attribute tests show smaller but consistent improvements (7-10%) since they still benefit from the faster membership test before raising AttributeError.

The optimization is particularly effective for this deprecation wrapper pattern where attribute validation happens on every access.
