Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: I think Martin was looking for other optimizations that still leave the data in a static C const (in order to be shared between processes and only loaded on demand), but do compress the data representation, e.g. using some form of Huffman coding.
While I don't see adding a few 100kB of static C data to a DLL as a major problem (even less so, if it's possible to disable support via a configure switch, e.g. for embedded systems), it would be interesting to check whether the lookups tables can be compressed by way of their structure. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2066> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
