I just duplicated this test on all the .py files in the Lib directory tree of a freshly updated 2.5 trunk. The results: 228 1119 18032 sets 679 3547 52532 gets 30 105 2003 dels 937 4771 72567 total
Here's wc on all those .py files: 471821 1659218 16585060 total So 937 lines out of 471,821 lines called *attr() functions, or very nearly 0.2%. I'm now totally convinced: +1 on attrview(), -1 on a syntax change. This is a minor improvement for 1 out of every 500 lines, and the class arguably nicer anyway. (Of the syntax changes, I still prefer ".[]".) /larry/ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
