Not that much, I think, the pure Python version being just a few lines of code (plus a few more lines of boilerplate). But I'm not too familiar with converting Python to C myself, so I may underestimate the difficulties. It might get a little more complicated if you want to minimize temporary allocations, for example. > Now I'm just waiting for you to propose an implementation of integer square root :-). Yes, there is also code for fast (O(M(n)) integer square roots in libarith.py. This function would be much less useful overall as a builtin, though. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3451> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
