Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: More surprising is that, even ignoring the allocation cost, other operations on the memory area seem more expensive:
$ ./python -m timeit -s "b=bytearray(500000)" "b[:] = b" -> python 3.3: 1000 loops, best of 3: 367 usec per loop -> python 3.2: 10000 loops, best of 3: 185 usec per loop (note how this is just a dump memcpy) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11849> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
