Frankly, it's a huge mess, but it would be very very hard to come up with a scalable solution that would allow to optimize certain hotspots and redo them in C or C++. There isn't even anything left to optimize in particular because all those low hanging fruit have already been taken care of. So it's just ~30kloc Python code over which the total time spent is quite uniformly distributed :(. _______________________________________________ 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
