If someone wanted to push for a backport to 3.2, it would be up to the release manager to decide whether a performance booster would be worth the risk of introducing a bug in a point release. ISTM that if someone really cared about performance, they would probably already be using an O(n) key-function approach. This patch eliminates most of the overhead for calling a cmp-function, but it can't do anything about the body of the user-supplied cmp-function which will dominate the running time if it does anything useful. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11707> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
