I disagree with you, mark. The patch is around 20 lines and does optimize all cases, not only the "huge integers". See my benchmark: conversion for small integers (type 'int') are also faster (7 to 22%). I think that the base 10 is more common than 2^k bases, and a conversion from integer to decimal string is a very common operation in Python. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6713> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
