I'm surprised, because it is unspeakably slow on this machine, even with the skips in place: PSALLOC=early time ./python -m test -uall test_decimal I hit Ctrl-C after 10min, so it takes even longer: Real 622.11 User 11.63 System 350.12 (!) The -bmaxdata approach has no speed penalty. Note that you can use 10 petabytes for the value, it should still prevent this issue. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41540> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
