[Python-ideas] Remember the Vasa

I thought it might be helpful for the Python community to be aware of the growth issues that the C++ community has/is discussing, at the moment. I am *not *saying we have those same issues, but we might know to avoid similar issues in our future? Here's and letter:

Re: [Python-ideas] a set of enum.Enum values rather than the construction of bit-sets as the "norm"?

Hmm, yea I had not thought of how it would look - I had thought formost of not needing to necessarily learn about bitsets.when learning about passing a large number of optional flags to a function. Although the default could be None, interpreted as an empty set of zero values.; a set of one or

Re: [Python-ideas] a set of enum.Enum values rather than the construction of bit-sets as the "norm"?

Hi Inada, can I take your point as being that execution speed is an issue? I am coming from the "Python as higher level, more programmer-centric language"direction. In the past, useful but slow things have spurred actions to speed them up. ___

Re: [Python-ideas] a set of enum.Enum values rather than the construction of bit-sets as the "norm"?

As for re, and otheralready written libraries, their is no need to change them, but other Pythoneers might well opt to not use bitsets, but rather sets of enum values. On Wednesday, 27 December 2017 05:58:00 UTC, Steven D'Aprano wrote: > > On Tue, Dec 26, 2017 at 12:07:52PM -0800,

[Python-ideas] a set of enum.Enum values rather than the construction of bit-sets as the "norm"?

Maybe it is time to deemphasize the creation and passing of what is, in effect, bit-sets as a single argument, and instead promote the passing of a set of members of an enum.Enum constants. Thi comes about
