From 8b57d7363916869357848e666d03fa7614c47897 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Raymond Hettinger Date: Sun, 10 Sep 2017 10:23:36 -0700 Subject: bpo-28638: Optimize namedtuple() creation time by minimizing use of exec() (#3454) * Working draft without _source * Re-use itemgetter() instances * Speed-up calls to __new__() with a pre-bound tuple.__new__() * Add note regarding string interning * Remove unnecessary create function wrappers * Minor sync-ups with PR-2736. Mostly formatting and f-strings * Bring-in qualname/__module fix-ups from PR-2736 * Formally remove the verbose flag and _source attribute * Restore a test of potentially problematic field names * Restore kwonly_args test but without the verbose option * Adopt Inada's idea to reuse the docstrings for the itemgetters * Neaten-up a bit * Add news blurb * Serhiy pointed-out the need for interning * Jelle noticed as missing f on an f-string * Add whatsnew entry for feature removal * Accede to request for dict literals instead keyword arguments * Leave the method.__module__ attribute pointing the actual location of the code * Improve variable names and add a micro-optimization for an non-public helper function * Simplify by in-lining reuse_itemgetter() * Arrange steps in more logical order * Save docstring in local cache instead of interning --- Doc/library/collections.rst | 18 +-- Doc/whatsnew/3.7.rst | 6 + Lib/collections/__init__.py | 162 +++++++++++---------- Lib/test/test_collections.py | 54 ++++--- .../2017-09-08-14-31-15.bpo-28638.lfbVyH.rst | 9 ++ 5 files changed, 136 insertions(+), 113 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Misc/NEWS.d/next/Library/2017-09-08-14-31-15.bpo-28638.lfbVyH.rst diff --git a/Doc/library/collections.rst b/Doc/library/collections.rst index d6d2056..cda8296 100644 --- a/Doc/library/collections.rst +++ b/Doc/library/collections.rst @@ -763,7 +763,7 @@ Named tuples assign meaning to each position in a tuple and allow for more reada self-documenting code.
