STINNER Victor added the comment: > Another option is to add a _pyoperator module.
Attached builtin_operator.patch patch implements this option: operator.c becomes the main operator module, _pyoperator is the pure Python implementation (don't use "from _operator import *" anymore). With the patch: $ ./python -m timeit "import sys; modname='_pyoperator'" "__import__(modname); del sys.modules[modname]" 1000 loops, best of 3: 276 usec per loop $ ./python -m timeit "import sys; modname='operator'" "__import__(modname); del sys.modules[modname]" 10000 loops, best of 3: 22.7 usec per loop The patch is huge because files are renamed: see builtin_operator_diff.patch for the diff. ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file32403/builtin_operator.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19229> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
