| | | | | * Put in a brief, example driven tutorial entry. * Use better examples in whatsnew24.tex.
* SF patch #872326: Generator expression implementationRaymond Hettinger2004-05-191-0/+78
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | (Code contributed by Jiwon Seo.) The documentation portion of the patch is being re-worked and will be checked-in soon. Likewise, PEP 289 will be updated to reflect Guido's rationale for the design decisions on binding behavior (as described in in his patch comments and in discussions on python-dev). The test file, test_genexps.py, is written in doctest format and is meant to exercise all aspects of the the patch. Further additions are welcome from everyone. Please stress test this new feature as much as possible before the alpha release.

|
* Optimize tuple_slice() and make further improvements to list_slice()Raymond Hettinger2004-03-081-0/+3
| | | | | | and list.extend(). Factoring the inner loops to remove the constant structure references and fixed offsets gives speedups ranging from 20% to 30%.
* SF patch #910929: Optimize list comprehensionsRaymond Hettinger2004-03-071-0/+4
| | | | | Add a new opcode, LIST_APPEND, and apply it to the code generation for list comprehensions. Reduces the per-loop overhead by about a third.
* SF #904720: dict.update should take a 2-tuple sequence like dict.__init_Raymond Hettinger2004-03-041-0/+4
| | | | | | | | (Championed by Bob Ippolito.) The update() method for mappings now accepts all the same argument forms as the dict() constructor. This includes item lists and/or keyword arguments.
* Mention the optimization of list.extend().Raymond Hettinger2004-02-171-0/+2
|
* Fine tune the speed/space trade-off for overallocating small lists.Raymond Hettinger2004-02-141-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Py2.3 approach overallocated small lists by up to 8 elements. The last checkin would limited this to one but slowed down (by 20 to 30%) the creation of small lists between 3 to 8 elements. This tune-up balances the two, limiting overallocation to 3 elements (significantly reducing space consumption from Py2.3) and running faster than the previous checkin. The first part of the growth pattern (0, 4, 8, 16) neatly meshes with allocators that trigger data movement only when crossing a power of two boundary. Also, then even numbers mesh well with common data alignments.
