Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: I confirm that the patch gives good speedups. It would be nice if there was a comment explaining what extrabuf, extrastart and extrasize are.
In 3.x, a better but more involved approached would be to rewrite the gzip module so as to take advantage of the standard IO classes (especially BufferedReader / BufferedWriter), which are written in C and are therefore much faster. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7471> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
