Less warm was the welcome for the extended print statement: print>>file, a shortcut for printing to a different file object than standard output. Personally, it's the Python 2.0 feature I use most frequently, but most people who opened their mouth about found it an abomination. The discussion thread on the newsgroup berating this simple language extension w...

Primarily used to simplify tests for string-ness to isinstance(x, basestring). bool, True, False - these were introduced as ints in Python 2.2.1, but are now a separate type (a subtype of int). This means that True and False are now printed as the strings 'True' and 'False', respectively. As...

This is much slower than necessary in the usual case, when the index is just an integer. In that case, only the single spelling needed is recomputed now; and, when the index is a slice object, only the spellings needed by the slice are recomputed now.

  • Python Patterns - An Optimization Anecdote

    ...indexing operation is sufficient. The relative speed of f4() compared to f1() and f3() suggests that both reasons why f3() is faster contribute, but that the first reason (fewer lookups) is a bit more important. (To get more precise data on this, we would have to instrument the interpreter.) Still, our best version, f3(), was only twice as fast as the most straightforward version, f1(). Could we do better? I was worried that the quadratic behavior of the algorithm was killing ...
