Unless I'm forgetting part of the conversation, that's not true. Note that the numpy patch is merged. Today, you get the optimization with `z = a + b + c + d`. What you don't get is the same optimization if you use: ``` ab = a + b abc = ab + c z = abc + d ``` The language feature I propose is to allow you to _keep_ the optimization that was present in `z = a + b + c + d`, but write it as ``` ab = a + b abc = (del ab) + c z = (del abc) + d ``` _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/NJX7GPBY4E3EMNKGKL3W3Q5E37BWFBVX/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
