Well, I would argue that there is already quite a work going to for crypto-sized computations in the integer code, as well as the crypto-oriented .bit_count() function that was recently added. For starters, the arguably crypto-oriented three argument pow() was there from Python 0.1 already, where I used it :-). There's Karatsuba multiplication, five-ary powering, and quite a few optimizations on the speed of the number conversion. And then of course the incredible implementation of Decimal, which does include a subquadratic division. I would say this would fit there. And maybe I'll make a subquadratic division for ints someday... Tim, your vote please... ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42911> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
