* Used the flag to optimize set.__contains__(), dict.__contains__(),
dict.__getitem__(), and list.__getitem__().

@@ -281,6 +281,12 @@ Build C API ----- +- Created a new method flag, METH_COEXIST, which causes a method to be loaded + even if already defined by a slot wrapper. This allows a __contains__ + method, for example, to co-exist with a defined sq_contains slot. This + is helpful because the PyCFunction can take advantage of optimized calls + whenever METH_O or METH_NOARGS flags are defined. + - Added a new function, PyDict_Contains(d, k) which is like PySequence_Contains() but is specific to dictionaries and executes about 10% faster. |
