The optimization for constant indexes is handy for things like b'A'[0]. I do not know cases for constant slices of constant strings. Even if there are cases, we need to prove that they are common enough. The compiler does not perform all possible constant foldings, it does it only to support common cases like 24*60*60 or 2**32-1. ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ 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
