You can prepare a few random samples during startup: $ python -m timeit -s"from random import sample; d = dict.fromkeys(xrange(10**7)); nextrange = iter([sample(xrange(10**7),25000) for i in range(200)]).next" "for x in nextrange(): d.get(x)" 10 loops, best of 3: 20.2 msec per loop To put it into perspective: $ python -m timeit -s"d = dict.fromkeys(xrange(10**7)); nextrange = iter([range(25000)]*200).next" "for x in nextrange(): d.get(x)" 100 loops, best of 3: 10.9 msec per loop Peter _______________________________________________ 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
