The inner loop (see the for loop in factorial_partial_product) operates on C unsigned longs, so I'd be surprised if a Python implementation were competitive. But it would be interesting to see timings. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23595> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
