Some C files use more than once the same _Py_IDENTIFIER identifier. It would be more efficient to merge duplicated identifiers. Just move the definition to the top of the file.

See also issue #19515 which is more general.

Oh, I forgot:

_Py_IDENTIFIER(__delitem__): Objects/typeobject.c:5132
_Py_IDENTIFIER(__delitem__): Objects/typeobject.c:5183

I'll provide a patch later tonight.

I've merged the _Py_IDENTIFIER identifiers mentioned above.

I stumbled over anohter instance where _Py_IDENTIFIER is used more than once: 

_Py_IDENTIFIER(__setitem__) : Objects/typeobject.c#l5133
_Py_IDENTIFIER(__setitem__) : Objects/typeobject.c#l5184

As a matter of style, I suggest that all identifiers are moved to the top of a file if some of them live there. IOW, it's (IMO) unstylish to have some at the top, and some in the middle (although this works perfectly fine, of course).
msg202350 - (view) Author: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) * (Python committer) Date: 2013-11-07 15:53
Another matter of style: I suggest alphabetical order for the identifiers, at least when the list gets long.
msg202352 - (view) Author: -- (elixir) * Date: 2013-11-07 15:54
The patch I promised above.
msg202356 - (view) Author: -- (elixir) * Date: 2013-11-07 16:01
I added a new patch with sorted _Py_IDENTIFIERs.

Regarding all identifiers at the top, I guess it might be more stylish, but it might affect performance. I'm not sure, though.

merge_py_identifiers_sorted.patch looks good to me.

Thanks for the patch.

Note: moving all identifiers would not have made a difference. They are static variables, so from a run-time point of view, there is no difference whether they are inside or outside of functions.
