Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: Agreed, those optimizations do make the implementation more complicated. It's also not clear whether they would really be worth it.
#1629305 only provided speedups for the case where you write s += 'abc'. The usual idiom for this is to use a list and then concatenate in one go. If you want a really fast approach, you'd use cStringIO or perhaps the bufferarray. I don't think that optimizing for just one particular use case warrants making the code more complicated or changing the C interface radically. In your case, I think that closing the door for being able to easily extend the type implement at the C is the main argument against it. The speedups are only marginal and can also be achieved (to some extent) by tuning the existing implementation's parameters. __________________________________ 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
