Alexander Belopolsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Python-3000 discussion <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python- 3000/2008-March/012753.html> did not reveal any opposition to the idea of batch processing of dict displays. However, a compromise suggestion was made to limit batches to 256 items <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2008-March/012829.html>. I don't think this type of micro-optimization belongs to the core. A rare application that would benefit from limited size batch processing can do so explicitly using dict.update.
See also relevant discussion at issue2292 (starting at msg65111). I believe this issue can be reopen. I will submit documentation patch if the change is accepted in principle. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2197> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
