New submission from Jonathan <qjonathandan...@gmail.com>: Creating a deque with an iterable object creates extra overhead if you want to insert it as one element.
e.g: import timeit test1 = ''' str = "x" * 100000 lst = [str] ''' test2 = ''' str = "x" * 100000 ''' print(timeit.timeit(test1, number=100000)) print(timeit.timeit(test2, number=100000)) If I want to add a string to a deque i will have to put it in a list first, this causes 23% slower performance in my case. There should be a deque where this overhead is not needed because in most cases this will be used in performance demanding cases. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 310256 nosy: jonathandaniel priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Deque with iterable object as one object type: performance versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32595> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
