Hello everyone!
I need to pack a long list of numbers into shared memory, so I thought
about using `struct.pack_into`.
Its signature is
struct.pack_into(format, buffer, offset, v1, v2, ...)
I have a long list of nums (several millions), ended up doing the following:
struct.pack_into(f'{len(nums)}Q', buf, 0, *nums)
However, passing all nums as `*args` is very inefficient [0]. So I
started wondering why we don't have something like:
struct.pack_into(format, buffer, offset, values=values)
which would receive the list of values directly.
Is that because my particular case is very uncommon? Or maybe we *do*
want this but we don't have it yet? Or do we already have a better way
of doing this?
Thanks!
