I am not qualified to comment on much of this, but one simple one: 1 million is a nice round easy to remember number.
But you can fit 2 million into 21 bits, and still fit three into 64 bits, so why not? Ialso noticed this: > Reference Implementation > ======================== > None, as yet. This will be implemented in CPython, once the PEP has been accepted. As already discussed, we really can't know the benefits without some benchmarking, so I don't expect the PEP will be accepted without a (at least partial) reference implementation. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov
