Core and Builtins ----------------- +- Issue #6690: Optimize the bytecode for expressions such as `x in {1, 2, 3}`, + where the right hand operand is a set of constants, by turning the set into + a frozenset and pre-building it as a constant. The comparison operation + is made against the constant instead of building a new set each time it is + executed (a similar optimization already existed which turned a list of + constants into a pre-built tuple). Patch and additional tests by Dave + Malcolm. + - Issue #7622: Improve the split(), rsplit(), splitlines() and replace() methods of bytes, bytearray and unicode objects by using a common implementation based on stringlib's fast search. Patch by Florent Xicluna. |
