I suggest to close this issue. I bet that defaultdict is *not* faster once you will manage to write a fair micro-benchmark. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38278> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
