The mysocket.mysend method given at http://docs.python.org/howto/sockets.html has an (unwitting?) O(N**2) complexity for long msg due to the string slicing.
I've been looking for a way to optimize this, but aside from a pure python 'string slice view' that looks at the original string I can't think of anything. Perhaps start and end keywords could be added to send? I can't think of a reason for the end keyword, but it would be there for symmetry. -- Zachary Burns (407)590-4814 Aim - Zac256FL Production Engineer (Digital Overlord) Zindagi Games -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
