In compile.c, some strings are created to be used as name of anonymous code objects: "<module>", "<lambda>", "<genexpr>", "<listcomp>", "<setcomp>" and "<dictcomp>".

Only the first two of those are interned (created with PyUnicode_InternFromString ), the rest are created with "PyUnicode_FromString". Even if they use a static variable to avoid creating multiple instances, not interning results in multiple copies when code objects are marshaled into pyc files and reloaded (one copy per module).

Always using PyUnicode_InternFromString should be more consistent, and slightly more efficient
