Thanks for noticing this. I wasn't aware that it had slowed down after dotted name support had been added. Since it is a mild performance issue, I'm lowering the priority. Will take a further look when I get the chance. A first look at the patch shows that it is bigger than I expected. Isn't it possible to check for a dot on construction and just record the boolean so that a fast, non-splitting path can be used. I'm reluctant to make the code volume grow much for this function. It is already a bit voluminous for the minor convenience it offers. ---------- priority: normal -> low stage: -> patch review type: -> performance _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10160> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
