Thanks Stefan! I'll update my patch to include Serhiy's ideas. The fact that fastint_alt slows down floats *and* decimals is not acceptable. I'm all for keeping cpython and ceval loop simple, but we should not pass on opportunities to improve some things in a significant way. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21955> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
