David Turner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: The idiom appears at least 370 times in the standard library. And, while on its own it can't appear in a loop, a function that uses it might get called in a loop.
You mention some sort of AST optimizer. I haven't really followed Python development enough to know anything about this. Is it worth bothering to do other work on the peepholer which might handle some more common cases? If not, is there a branch or something where I can look at the AST optimizer? _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4134> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
