Stefan Behnel added the comment: I created issue 22486 about the gcd() performance. I think we can close this ticket - I don't see any more obvious low hanging fruit and future findings can have their own ticket.
Out of interest, I modified the fractions module to compile Fraction into an extension type with Cython. For the benchmark, it currently gives me a 10x speedup over the original fractions module in Py3.4. I uploaded my initial attempt to PyPI and it's on github: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/quicktions https://github.com/scoder/quicktions That makes a C implementation of Fraction generally worth considering for CPython. ---------- resolution: -> fixed status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22464> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
