I still can't see why this could speed up anything. The total time will be the same - whether you allocate them in advance or on demand should make no difference. In any case, if you think that you can improve things, please submit a patch.

I can't resist to mention some private discussions I've had at the time, with people that could see this coming. Maybe this might be used as an argument against adding optional type annotations...? Ok, I'm not optimistic about it. Sorry, I don't mean to start yet another endless thread, and will shut up again after this note. I'm no longer a regular python-dev contributor anyway; the fact is that I quite like the language as it is, and I'm a bit concerned about its evolution - in my humble opinion it seems to become each release a bit less accessible to beginners.

Add: > test_al > test_cd > test_cl > test_crypt > test_ftplib The tests listed as flaky have a tendency to fail on the buildbots because some resource is lacking. I have not seen any of these tests fail like that. -Brett ___ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

[Python-Dev] Error from SVN commit
I'm getting an error from SVN when trying to commit a NEWS entry for r60695: -- SendingMisc/NEWS Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: Can't create directory '/data/repos/projects/db/transactions/60708-1.txn': No space left on device -- I've tried it a few times over the last 5-10 minutes and got the same error each time. I checked r60695 in last night from that same checkout, so I wouldn't expect it to be a local problem. Could the repository drive on svn.python.org just be full? Or is something else going on?
