Thanks Brian for writing the very useful benchmark script, I'll be keeping an eye on it during development. I expect you'll get the same performance I am if you use __slots__, a minor change.
Hmmm.. I had tried using __slots__ on the class early on, thinking it would potentially be the best python thing you could do because then your attributes are allocated in your object... when I tested it on python 2.3 on WinXP it seemed to be about the same performance as using a list member... it disappointed me at the time because I really thought it was the best way to go... ... but maybe performance sucked cause the operators were still using [] access on other vec2d's, I noticed the euclid code is using x & y on other vec2d's with an if (so it can still support adding with anything with a list interface...) now I'll have to look at slots again :)
