⚡️ Speed up method TransformHandler.as_python_code by 21%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 21% (0.21x) speedup for TransformHandler.as_python_code in marimo/_plugins/ui/_impl/dataframes/transforms/types.py

⏱️ Runtime : 21.3 microseconds → 17.7 microseconds (best of 112 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization removes unnecessary del statements that were explicitly deleting the function parameters df_name, transforms, and columns before returning None.

What was optimized:

• Eliminated the explicit deletion line del df_name, transforms, columns
• The function now directly returns None without any intermediate operations

Why this provides a speedup:

• The del statement in Python requires bytecode execution to unbind the variable names from their objects
• Since this is a static method that immediately returns None, the parameter variables would be automatically cleaned up when the function exits anyway
• Removing the del operation eliminates unnecessary work - the line profiler shows this operation took ~40μs (53.9% of total execution time)
• Python's automatic garbage collection handles cleanup of function-local variables upon function exit, making the explicit deletion redundant

Performance impact:
The line profiler results show the optimization achieves a 20% speedup (21.3μs → 17.7μs). The annotated tests demonstrate consistent improvements across all test cases, ranging from 3-49% faster execution, with most cases showing 15-35% improvements.

Workload suitability:
This optimization is particularly beneficial for high-frequency calls to as_python_code() since it's a base method in the TransformHandler abstract class. The consistent speedups across various transform types (filters, aggregations, selections, etc.) indicate the optimization provides universal benefit regardless of the specific use case or data size.
