+1 I was going to comment on the corresponding issue #11244 more or less supporting Raymond's arguments. There is no end of optimization ideas that can be implemented in peephole optimizer. I know this first hand having implemented several of those that have been ultimately rejected. At the end of the day, peephole optimizer is a hack that predates proper AST design. There is no need to continue squeezing out last drops of juice from 10-year old technology when much better approach is available with the modern design. _______________________________________________ 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
