marginally faster in 2.4, a lot slower in earlier versions. maybe you should mark sections that rely on 2.4-specific optimizations, so that people who use earlier versions don't end up slowing their programs down... </F> _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
