Ah, I wouldn't rely on the absolyte values, my computer is *slow*. On a more recent machine, I get this: 100000 loops, best of 3: 8.82 usec per loop Whereas a C loop gives a 4usec per loop. > "Abc" is a bytes string in Python 2 and an Unicode string in Python 3. Sure, but why do getaddrinfo() and gethostbyname() return strings then? This means that someone using: addr = getaddrinfo(...) sendto(DATA, addr) Will pay the idna encoding upon every call to sendto(). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22127> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
