Pankaj D <p...@comcast.net> added the comment: Wondering the same thing myself, and yes sqlite3_column_type() by itself doesn't seem expensive. I assumed in general it was to allow more responsiveness for apps with huge number of columns (i.e. large tuple size). But we have about 20-25 columns and so I was going to try removing it and seeing the results. In any case, it seems, fewer GIL acquire/releases will help with throughput. Are there any guidelines on when GIL should be released?
Re PyTuple_SET_ITEM...yes that's also a possibility but it would then hide genuine bugs. ---------- versions: +Python 2.6 -Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15108> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
