Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment: Why would it be a feature? There is no change in semantics, only in speed. Do we have a policy that forbids performance enhancements in bugfix releases? (It doesn't really matter, I'm just curious. Also, if it really was a feature request, it couldn't be introduced once the 3.3 beta has started, which would strike me as silly.)
Anyway, I don't think my hack should be applied literally; I was more thinking of memoizing the translation table and inlining the _translate call. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15138> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
