New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:
According to PEP 307 the extend method can be used for appending list items to
the object.
listitems Optional, and new in this PEP.
If this is not None, it should be an iterator (not a
sequence!) yielding successive list items. These list
items will be pickled, and appended to the object using
either obj.append(item) or obj.extend(list_of_items).
This is primarily used for list subclasses, but may
be used by other classes as long as they have append()
and extend() methods with the appropriate signature.
(Whether append() or extend() is used depends on which
pickle protocol version is used as well as the number
of items to append, so both must be supported.)
Proposed patch makes the extend method be used in the APPENDS opcode. To avoid
breaking existing code the use of the extend method is optional.
Microbenchmark:
$ ./python -m timeit -s "import pickle, collections; p =
pickle.dumps(collections.deque([None]*10000), 4)" -- "pickle.loads(p)"
Unpatched: 100 loops, best of 5: 2.02 msec per loop
