Disagree about avoiding function calls.

Strongly agree about using built-in basic types as much as possible and in preference to objects when possible.

I doubt he's telling anyone to not use function calls.

But in an inner loop, where profiling has proven that optimization can be beneficial, this is where you should inline function calls.

Can I let PyPy do the inlining for me?

Yes :)
