It's not nearly that simple. See e.g.: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-February/019854.html Note, however, that such a speedup is entirely independent of the syntax. Trying to link the syntax with the performance is completely bogus. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
