Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: The type is an important performance factor but most uses of it are for small ints (< 2**32 or 2**64), so your approach wouldn't make much of a difference. Besides, there are already some improvements in the py3k branch (for example, longs now use 30-bit "digits" on 64-bit systems).
> I am aware of the > following 'speed tweaks' in Python 2.x integers, aren't these lost now? Yes, they are. As a result, calculations on small ints have become a bit slower. ---------- nosy: +pitrou versions: +Python 3.2 -Python 2.6, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1087418> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
