I mean using the raw flag speeds up things because the interpreter
doesn't need to look after escape sequences? Or it's rather optimized?
I'm asking you this because I want to know how my -style comments
should be written in order not to affect the performance.
*Please* stop worrying about the speed of the compilation here. If you
have doubts about speed then measure and find the bottlenecks in your code
and iff you find hotspots *then* try to optimize. But only iff the
program is *to slow*, not when it's fast enough anyway. In that case you
should always favor more readable code above speed.
And another short question... Are there any flags to specify variables
intercalation in a string? I mean I have x apples, how can i specify
for the interpreter to substitute x with it's value? (in case *x* is a
variable). And if this flag exists is it better to use I have + x +
apples or the above mentioned way?
Maybe you should work through the tutorial in the Python documentation.
