Full marks to the SC for transparency. That's a healthy sign that the community acknowledges its disciplinary processes must also be open to scrutiny, and rather better than dealing with matters in a Star Council. Kind regards, Steve On Fri, Oct 9, 2020 at 12:10 AM Thomas Wouters wrote: > > St

[Python-Dev] Shutting down Import-SIG mailing list?

Would anyone care if Import-SIG was shut down? It gets a few spam emails per day that need to be cleaned up. It hasn't had any real messages for a couple of years. I think if the discussions were moved to python-dev it wouldn't be a noticeable increase in traffic. We'd want to keep it around f

Seems fine to me. It’s an easy process; just ask postmaster@ and they can shut the list down, retaining the archives read-only for posterity. -Barry > On Oct 13, 2020, at 09:26, Eric V. Smith wrote: > > Would anyone care if Import-SIG was shut down? It gets a few spam emails per > day that n

[Python-Dev] Changing Python's string search algorithms

Fredrik Lundh crafted our current string search algorithms, and they've served us very well. They're nearly always as fast as dumbest-possible brute force search, and sometimes much faster. This was bought with some very cheap one-pass preprocessing of the pattern (the substring to search _for_),

[Python-Dev] Re: Changing Python's string search algorithms

I'm sure that the large majority of the string searches I've done are in Larry's tiny category. However, I also think that big data needs are increasing, and things like FASTA files can be enormously large texts that one has good reasons to search on. If there is a heuristic switch between algori
