Uh, talking about "CPython" is not very helpful here and only muddies the waters IMO. Something like "typical implementations of dump() will try to write the result in small chunks and will therefore trade lower memory usage for higher serialization time. If you have enough memory and care about performance, consider using dumps() and write the result yourself with a single write() call". ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12134> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
