(1), (4) and (5) sound good to me. For (1), it might make sense to ignore the 32-bit vs. 64-bit distinction and use `uint64_t` for the internal computations. Then we can do up to n = 62 regardless of platform. (2) feels like too much extra complication to me, but that would become clearer with an implementation. For (3), I somewhat agree that the factorial method should be avoided. For (4), I don't see how/when the GIL could be released: doesn't the algorithm involve lots of memory allocations/deallocations and reference count adjustments? Can the suggested performance improvements go into 3.8, or should they wait for 3.9? It's not clear to me whether a performance improvement after feature freeze is okay or not. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37295> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
