I think John Nagle was thinking about rebinding names:


def f(self, a, b):
   while b>0:
     b = g(b)
     c = a + b
     d = self.h(c*3)
   return "hello world"*d

both g and self.h may change its meaning from one iteration to the next,  
so a complete name lookup is required at each iteration. This is very  
useful sometimes, but affects performance a lot.
