Mark Dickinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Here's a first try at a patch that converts the Decimal coefficient from type str to type bytes. It needs some work: here are some timings for a complete run of the test suite (best of 3 in each case) on my MacBook.
Python 3.0, str: 12.880s Python 3.0, bytes: 13.294s Python 2.6: 9.279s Python 2.5: 9.212s There's still some room for speedup with the bytes patch, but at the moment it doesn't look as though performance alone is a compelling reason to make this change. ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file9860/decimal_bytes.patch __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2486> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
