Stefan Behnel added the comment: You can easily see it by running timeit on fstrings, e.g. patched:
$ ./python -m timeit 'f"{34276394612:15}"' 1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.352 usec per loop $ ./python -m timeit 'f"{34.276394612:8.6f}"' 1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.497 usec per loop and original Py3.6 master: $ ./python -m timeit 'f"{34276394612:15}"' 1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.435 usec per loop $ ./python -m timeit 'f"{34.276394612:8.6f}"' 1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.589 usec per loop It doesn't make much of a difference if you use constants or variables, BTW. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27818> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
