It's likely to be more useful for dict and set, to avoid/limit rehashs. Also, the allocation overhead depends on the implementation, I suspect the gain would be more important with PyPy. FWIW, Java proposes this for lists and maps, but I'm not convinced exposing such tunables really makes sense for Python. ---------- nosy: +neologix _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17338> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
