I really don't want to introduce something slower than O(n) behavior here, particularly because some of my use cases have a large n and because this will be called many times. Tim has already opined the even using a variant of Kahan summation would increase the cost unacceptably. IMO, sorting is even worse and would be a foolish thing to do. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33089> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
