Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: I was more interested in the import time, and it has slightly increased. Memory consumption ((32**2+2*85**2)*sys.getsizeof(b'xx')/2**10 + sys.getsizeof(dict.fromkeys(range(32**2))) + 2*sys.getsizeof(dict.fromkeys(range(85**2))) + 2*(85**2-256)*sys.getsizeof(85**2) < 1MB) was seemed small compared with the overall memory usage of Python (20-25MB), so I were ignored it.
No need for lazy initialization of small tables, and the overhead of the _init_*85_tables() call for every encoding/decoding operation may be too large. Here is simpler patch. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file34328/base64_lazy_init.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20879> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
