I have a suggestion for speeding up the performance of code like this:
fields = cgi.FieldStorage()
if fields: ...
which, as it turns out, invokes FieldStorage.__len__(), which in turn
calls FieldStorage.keys(), which builds a list of keys by hand, taking
several minutes for large forms. This implementation of keys() reduces
the amount of time taken by several orders of magnitude:
def keys(self):
return {}.fromkeys([i.name for i in self.list]).keys()
Is there a better place for submitting suggestions like this?
