Yes: I tend to favour direct, readable, and portable code over unnecessarily optimized code. To address the specific points: > The code is larger. Very slightly. It's (IMO) more readable and comprehensible though. > There is one additional allocation. Yep. Is this a problem? > CPU tacts wasted for uint32->ulong conversion. random.seed is hardly going to be a bottleneck in most applications. Again, I don't see that as a problem. > One additional ValeError/OverflowError. That's not really additional: it should really have already been there in the original code. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16496> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
