New submission from Stefan Behnel: Fractions are great for all sorts of exact computations (including money/currency calculations), but are quite slow due to the need for normalisation at instantiation time.
I adapted the existing telco benchmark to use Fraction instead of Decimal to make this problem more visible. One change I made was to take the data reading out of the measured loop. I/O is not part of what the benchmark should measure. Please consider adding it to the benchmark suite. ---------- components: Benchmarks files: telco_fractions.py messages: 227252 nosy: scoder priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add fractions benchmark type: enhancement Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file36684/telco_fractions.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22458> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
