Raymond Hettinger <rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:
FWIW, the inefficiency is only in the loop setup, the time to call reversed() and __reversed__(). The inner loop runs at the same speed because xrange provides a __reversed__ iterator. Please do not go through the standard library making these minor tweaks without making sure there is a significant measured speed-up and do consider the readability issue. ---------- resolution: -> rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5986> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
