  • Python Patterns - An Optimization Anecdote

    ...hash chaining works. The second reason why f3() is faster than f1() is that the call to chr(item), as executed by the bytecode interpreter, is probably a bit slower than when executed by the map() function - the bytecode interpreter must execute three bytecode instructions for each call (load 'chr', load 'item', call), while the map() function does it all in C. This led us to consider a compromise, which wouldn't waste extra space, but which would speed up the lookup for the chr(...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...hash, or @list. In Python it just worked, and we could mix the data types of the keys in the Property manager dictionary without any extra effort at all. Yet, as described above, Python does at the same time provide sufficient data type checking to find many kinds of common type mismatch errors. One of the factors that made our Property manager so successful was that Python lets user-defined types emulate the behavior of built-in types. Our Property manager acts very much like a lookup table...
