⚡️ Speed up function get_environment_type by 20%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 20% (0.20x) speedup for get_environment_type in pdd/python_env_detector.py

⏱️ Runtime : 185 microseconds → 155 microseconds (best of 80 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 19% speedup by replacing expensive dictionary lookups with faster membership tests and eliminating redundant function calls.

Key optimizations:

1. Local variable aliasing: env = os.environ creates a local reference, avoiding repeated global lookups of os.environ in both functions.

2. Membership tests over .get() calls: Changed from os.environ.get('KEY') to 'KEY' in env. Dictionary membership tests (in) are significantly faster than .get() method calls, especially when checking multiple keys.

3. Inlined logic elimination: Removed the expensive call to is_in_virtual_environment() within get_environment_type() by inlining the same logic directly in the elif clause. This eliminates function call overhead and duplicate environment variable checks.

Performance characteristics:

• The optimization is most effective for test cases that check multiple environment variables (like the mutation detection tests showing 4-18% speedups)
• Works well across all environment sizes - even with 1000+ irrelevant environment variables, the in operator maintains O(1) average performance
• Minimal impact on cases that return early (like when CONDA_PREFIX is set first), but significant gains when multiple checks are needed

The line profiler shows the optimized version spends less time per operation (744ns vs 4964ns per hit for the first check), demonstrating the efficiency of membership testing over method calls.
