Those structures usually allocate a 4KB- or 8KB- buffer each, so I don't think squeezing two or three bytes would do a lot of difference (performance probably wouldn't be affected either). Also, I don't find the bitfield notation very readable (and it isn't found anywhere else in the interpreter AFAIK), but that's just me :-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5883> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
