Alexander Belopolsky added the comment: issue1546078 presents a much more ambitious patch - supporting arbitrary longs in range. It looks like that patch was applied to py3k branch where performance issues are not yet a concern.
Unless there are plans to backport 1546078, I would like to see this patch make it in 2.6. (On 64-bit platforms, it is probably as good as supporting arbitrary longs and thus will make 2.6 closer to 3.0.) The patch is still valid for the trunk. _____________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1540617> _____________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
