New submission from Mark Shannon <m...@hotpy.org>:
A "Normal" Python objects is conceptually just a pair of pointers, one to the class, and one to the dictionary. With shared keys, the dictionary is redundant as it is no more than a pair of pointers, one to the keys and one to the values. By adding a pointer to the values to the object, or embedding the values in the object, and fetching the keys via the class, we can avoid creating a dictionary for many objects. See https://github.com/faster-cpython/ideas/issues/72 for more details. ---------- assignee: Mark.Shannon components: Interpreter Core messages: 403010 nosy: Mark.Shannon, methane priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Lazily create dictionaries for plain Python objects type: enhancement versions: Python 3.11 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45340> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
