poq <p...@gmx.com> added the comment: I think this is because dumps() uses the C encoder. Making the C encoder incremental (i.e. iterator-based) like the Python encoder would solve this.
I actually looked into doing this for issue #12134, but it didn't seem so simple; Since C has no yield, I think the iterator would need to maintain its own stack to keep track of where it is in the object tree it's encoding... If there is interest though, I may be able to write a patch when I have some time off again... ---------- nosy: +poq _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12778> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
