New submission from Wolfgang Maier <wolfgang.ma...@biologie.uni-freiburg.de>:
Given that the random module goes a long way to ensure optimal performance, I was wondering why the check for a match between the random and getrandbits methods is performed per call of Random._randbelow, when it could also be done at instantiation time (the attached patch uses __init_subclass__ for that purpose and, in my hands, gives 10-25% speedups for calls to methods relying on _randbelow). Is it really necessary to guard against someone monkey patching the methods rather than using inheritance? ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: randbelow.patch keywords: patch messages: 314455 nosy: rhettinger, wolma priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: random._randbelow optimization type: performance versions: Python 3.8 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file47501/randbelow.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33144> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
