Pretty crowded market. ;) > > Oleg. > Morning Oleg, Yeah.. I would think so. My hack currently consists of ripping out the Decimal stuff mostly from col.py as well as the two line change inside psycopg2 .. and that's where I think we may have a problem. The Psycopg2 guys are probably -not- interested in changing over from Decimal to gmpy, even for speed. Which makes me wonder.. should I maintain these patches for myself ?
Let me re-ask that question; is there any point in submitting patches to use gmpy to you if to get things working requires a patched psycopg2 (which will probably never go 'mainstream') ? The difference -is- like night and day though. The process that used to take 26 hours to run now takes around 4 hours. ~Slight~ difference in speed ;) Regards Stef (ps. I am also pretty certain that more speed can be ecked out of the system, although I doubt with such gains ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
