Right. Repeat counts aren't directly supported in the underlying PyStructObject; a format string containing repeat counts is effectively 'compiled' to a series of (type, offset, size) triples before it can be used. The caching is there to save repeated compilations when the same format string is used repeatedly. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14596> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
