FWIW, one way to make a dict denser without increasing the number of probes is to use Brent's Variation of Algorithm D in Knuth. That optimizes the insertion order to minimize the number of collisions and lets you pack well over two-thirds full without degradation. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <[email protected]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10408> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
