As a matter of fact, you are. OTOH, nobody at the sprint made that argument, so nobody actually feels shame on that count :-) I apologize for the insufficiently reviewed exception-rework patch anyway. The massive try/raise/except slowdown in 2.5a2 (compared to 2.4.3) was depressing and surprising, and figuring it out & repairing it consumed various peoples' time across the whole week. By the time Saturday came around, I was fried enough that "well, people have hacked on this all week, the slowdown finally got replaced by a speedup, and all the tests pass -- enough already, let's go home!" ruled. So, as everyone suspected all along, it's Neal's fault for not running his refleak test more often ;-) > ... > It would have saved me two hours-long debugging sessions, and I consider > myself an everyday Python user, so yes, I think so. I'll try to review your patch carefully Tuesday, but I'm willing to accept a slowdown for this too (although from a quick look I doubt there's a measurable one, and your approach is wholly sane). _______________________________________________ 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
