New submission from Glenn Linderman <v+pyt...@g.nevcal.com>:
This is stupid code, but it should be faster with PEP 393 than before, should
it not?
str = ' ' * 5000000 + "this is really a string example....wow!!!";
for ix in range( 9000 ):
z = max(str)
print("Max character: " + max(str))
While the new C API seems to support quickly finding the max character in a
string, Python code does not benefit.
