R. David Murray added the comment: Precompiling as a compile-time optimization would be cool. I think we are currently favoring doing that kind of thing as an AST optimization step?
I think Raymond and my point was that the current behavior should remain unchanged by default. So a re.DEFERRED flag whose default is False would be a possible candidate for the "new API" I suggested :) However, compile time optimization could default to on like our peephole optimizations do[*], I don't think anyone would be upset about that. [*] There are complaints that you can't turn them *off*, but that's a separate issue :) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31580> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
