Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I am currently working on a patch that allows large ranges and large indices. The trick is to define tp_as_mapping->mp_subscript. Then range_item() is rarely used, only by functions calling directly the PySequence_* functions, instead of the abstract PyObject_*.
There is still a limit with len(), which seems bound by the size_t limit. Most of the tests in test_builtin were re-enabled. I join the current version of the patch. I'm still working on further simplifications, and maybe supporting slices on ranges... Note: I found more useful to store a "range->end" member, which is the multiple of "step" just beyond the "stop" limit. ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file10109/anyrange.patch __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2690> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
