Ne, we don't use a free list for longs. In the 2.x series floats and ints are allocated in blocks of 1000 objects. The 3.x series uses the approach for floats only. Longs are always allocated with a free list unless the value is in between -5 and +256. These longs are statically allocated using an array. > And obviously having a single loop that explicitly tests the > optimization is not exactly indicative of real-world use. =) Damn, you got me ;) Christian _______________________________________________ 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
