Antoine Pitrou added the comment: All of those proposals are much heavier to implement; they also make the unicode type more complicated and difficult to maintain probably (while turning it into a PyVarObject actually shortens the implementation a bit). In any case, it's not something I want to tackle.
The reason that I mentioned #1629305 was that it was such an optimization which complicated the unicode type while bringing very significant speedups. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1943> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
