There are two separate things going on here: 1) The reason for keeping string literals in a table is so that you don't have to create a new string object every time they're used. This would seem to apply to bytes just as much as strings. 2) Interning of strings that are likely to be used in dynamic name lookups. Since all names are strings, this only applies to strings, not bytes. > At this point, I'm not sure if meging the string tables was a good > idea. I don't even see how you *can* merge them, since strings and bytes are completely different types in py3k. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
