The same idea was already proposed to optimize str%args and str.format(args). struct.unpack() does also compile the format into an optimize structure (and have a cache). We may do something like Martin von Loewis's _Py_IDENTIFIER API: compile at runtime at the first call, and cache the result in a static variable. It's not a tiny project, and I don't know exactly how to build a "JIT compiler" for getargs.c, nor how complex it would be. But it would speed up *all* Python calls, so any Python application. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17170> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
