Optimized + argument handling and added a fast path for the common case of a single + non-negative integer index into a tuple (which is the typical use case in + the standard library). (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger in + :issue:`35664`.) + +* Sped-up field lookups in :func:`collections.namedtuple`. They are now more + than two times faster, making them the fastest form of instance variable + lookup in Python. (Contributed by Raymond Hettinger, Pablo Galindo, and + Serhiy Storchaka in :issue:`32492`.) + * The :class:`list` constructor does not overallocate the internal item buffer if the input iterable has a known length (the input implements ``__len__``). This makes the created list 12% smaller on average. (Contributed by Pablo |
