I'd be opposed to changing Python's `int` implementation in this way: it adds complication to the codebase and potentially also slows down "normal" cases. If a user knows in advance (a) that they're using a divisor that's highly divisble by 2, and (b) that the division or modulo operation is performance critical, then they can take the appropriate steps to optimize their code. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41487> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
