Tim Peters <tim.pet...@gmail.com> added the comment: - Tuple objects don't currently reserve space to store their hash code, so it's likely this would increase the size of every tuple.
- It's unclear to me which natural use patterns would actually enjoy a major speed boost. Note that dicts remember the hash codes of keys already, regardless of whether the key type remembers them too. A tuple is typically constructed right before being used in a dict lookup, so for a one-shot use no time would be saved. If the new tuple is used in multiple dict lookups, sure - but is that common? ---------- nosy: +tim_one _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9685> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
