Then I'd suggest removing the optimization for "abcde"[2], too. I've never seen this in real code, and I can't come up with a scenario where it would be performance critical. Remember, one of the goals for CPython is to be reasonable readable, not maximally tricky. Could you point to the code (or ideally the commit) with methane's comment? I'm not trying to be a jerk, though. I do appreciate your patch, I just think it's not appropriate for CPython. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39223> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
