Kristján Valur Jónsson added the comment: Right, in this case, memory copying is avoided.
Regarding the memoing of 0, empty tuple, etc: Special opcode may still benefit because it takes only one byte. So, you save four bytes for each such case. I think it might be worth investigating. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19219> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
