Josiah (and other supporters of string views), You seem to be utterly convinced of the superior performance of your proposal without having done any measurements.
You appear to have a rather naive view on what makes code execute fast or slow (e.g. you don't seem to appreciate the savings due to a string object header and its data being consecutive in memory). Unless you have serious benchmark data (for realistic Python code) I can't continue to participate in this discussion, where you have said nothing new in many posts. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
