Due to the frequent state lookups there is a performance problem though, which is quite significant for _decimal. Otherwise I think I would have implemented the changes already. http://bugs.python.org/issue15722 I think for speed sensitive applications it may be an idea to create a new C function (METH_STATE flag) which gets the state passed in by ceval. Other than that, looking up the state inside the module but cache it (like it's done for the _decimal context) also has reasonable performance. Also I hit the same issues that Eli mentioned here a while ago: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2013-August/127862.html Stefan Krah _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
