I feel like the namedtuple issue could be solved cleanly by adding a feature I've wanted for a long time in Python: some simple way to cache high-level data and code in generated .pyc files. Today, there's no way to do that; Python compiles the code but evaluates nothing until execution time. I'd like my .pyc files to contain some precomputed expressions and code, to reduce startup time. I probably ought to discuss this on python-ideas.
