Stefan Krah added the comment: About IDLE I can't say anything, but I'm not entirely sure if the PEP-399 import method is easier to understand for users, see e.g.:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13194384/instantiate-decimal-class I get the impression that the posters at first did not even realize that there *is* an accelerator in Python 3.3, so they had a hard time debugging the issue. As for the load time: Personally I don't have any application that relies on a very short load time, but I wan't to note again that importing decimal at Python startup actually doubles the startup time. So if there are applications that start a new Python script for each request (e.g. via djb's tcpserver), it could really matter. OTOH I don't like moving code around either, so we can wait until there's a demonstrated need for the speedup. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19232> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
