Sorry, I copied the wrong line. $ ./python -m timeit -s "seq=[bytes([i]*100000) for i in range(256)]" "b' '.join(seq)" 10 loops, best of 3: 45.6 msec per loop But the conclusions are not affected, for larger byte strings patched version will be 1.5-2 times slower in limit. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12805> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
