object() performance and internals

Performance characteristics and CPython implementation details.

python
# object() internals
import dis

def using_object():
    pass

# Bytecode analysis
dis.dis(using_object)

# Check if it's truly built-in
import builtins
print(f"\nobject is builtin: {hasattr(builtins, 'object')}")
print(f"Type: {type(builtins.object)}")

Understanding the internal implementation helps optimize hot paths in performance-critical code.
