Ethan Furman added the comment: _collections sounds cool, but the flip side is any python without the C implemntation would still have the slower startup, right?
No, I don't have measurements -- just that I have heard importing collections can have an effect on startup time. Of course, it's only a cost you pay once, so maybe it's not a big deal. On the other hand, I could make __members__ a caching property that doesn't import OrderedDict until it is used, and not use it internally -- and I can't think of any reason why the stdlib would need to access __members__ itself. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25147> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
