New submission from Istvan Albert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: The write performance into text files is substantially slower (5x-8x) than that of python 2.5. This makes python 3.0 unsuited to any application that needs to write larger amounts of data.
------------test code follows ----------------------- import time lo, hi, step = 10**5, 10**6, 10**5 # writes increasingly more lines to a file for N in range(lo, hi, step): fp = open('foodata.txt', 'wt') start = time.time() for i in range( N ): fp.write( '%s\n' % i) fp.close() stop = time.time() print ( "%s\t%s" % (N, stop-start) ) ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 77132 nosy: ialbert severity: normal status: open title: io write() performance very slow type: performance versions: Python 3.0 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4565> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
