In short, it looks like the freeslot idea was a net negative -- it
optimized an uncommon case at the cost of slowing and complicating the
common cases.
Do you have a benchmark showing the slowing down?

New submission from Raymond Hettinger:
The existing search finger is stored in a hackish way (using the hash field of
entry zero in the hash table). Replace this with normal coding techniques
(saving the field in the set object).
Cost one extra field in the set object. Benefit, remove an

OK, the workaround is applied for 3.4.3 and 3.5.0.

Raymond Hettinger added the comment:
I've observed the generated assembly has fewer instructions on the critical
path and that a register was freed-up. That's enough for me in this case (it's
too easy to get trapped in local minimums in timing small changes like this).
Do either of you have

Tell me about it. I have an E-Trade ATM card. When I first got
it, I set it up with a 6 digit PIN. I was shocked to discover some

New submission from Matt Bachmann:
PEP 3131 changed the definition of valid identifiers to match this pattern
XID_Start XID_Continue* .
Currently if you have an invalid character in an identifier you get this error
