Raymond Hettinger added the comment: FWIW, the idea did have some merit and I appreciate your submitting it.
The issues are that the net gain likely isn't worth the API complication, that it opens a can worms (about manipulating the cache contents beyond load and store), and that it is at odds with the core notion of being transparent. FWIW, the C version of OrderedDict now makes it trivially easy to roll your own highly performant variants of the LRU cache. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17528> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
