and also based on the cET (and NFS) experiences, it wouldn't surprise me if a naive 32-bit text string implementation will, on average, slow things down *more* than any string view implementation can speed things up again... (in other words, I'm convinced that we need a polymorphic string type. I'm not so sure we need views, but if we have the former, we can use that mechanism to support the latter) </F> _______________________________________________ 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
