Pull request overview
This PR implements performance optimizations and code comment improvements across the apywire codebase. The changes focus on reducing dictionary lookups, improving instance type checking logic, and streamlining code documentation.
Key changes include:
- Changed
if-if-ifinstance type checking patterns toif-elif-elifchains for better short-circuit evaluation - Replaced LBYL (Look Before You Leap) with EAFP (Easier to Ask for Forgiveness than Permission) pattern in cache lookups using try-except instead of membership checks
- Optimized topological sorting by pre-converting dictionary keys to a set to avoid repeated conversions during intersection operations
- Consolidated verbose multi-line comments into concise inline comments
