I rather think that a bytearray version can't pre-scan the data. Note that an array for pre-scanned result can be larger than input data (if we split into a large number of small items). Also note that iterative split useful when we do not want to process all input, but only several first items. Actually I think that in most common cases non-iterative split will be faster than iterative one. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17343> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
