Antoine Pitrou added the comment: I know it's not the place to discuss #1629305, but the join() solution is not always faster. Why? Because 1) there's the list contruction and method call overhead 2) ceval.c has some bytecode hackery to try and make plain concatenations somewhat less slow.
As for cStringIO, I actually observed in some experiments that it was slower than the other alternatives, at least for short strings. All in all, choosing between the three idioms is far from obvious and needs case-by-case analysis. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1943> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
