> Is there no possible optimizations by breaking LIFO dict.popitem()? Even if there were a possible optimization, we wouldn't care. The API is too desirable to forgo in the name of micro-optimization. We don't design our APIs that way -- trading the relevant and actionable for ethereal and unknown. Also, it is common sense that addition of a key/value pair at the end is a readily undoable operation (no more expensive to remove than it was to add). There will be a dummy entry in the hash array just like there is now. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34123> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
