  • Python Patterns - An Optimization Anecdote

    ...constant in a loop, copy it to a local variable before the loop. And in Python, function names (global or built-in) are also global constants! Try to use map(), filter() or reduce() to replace an explicit for loop, but only if you can use a built-in function: map with a built-in function beats for loop, but a for loop with in-line code beats map with a lambda function! Check your algorithms for quadratic behavior. But notice that a more complex algorithm only pays off for large N...

    ...constant adaptation to new Windows versions. Instead of porting the driver to new Windows versions -- at that time Windows NT was supported but we had urgent requests for Windows 2000 and XP was already visible on the horizon -- we decided to use standard internet protocols (UDP for the old monitoring node and TCP for the new one) for communication. For TTP-Load, which does not have performance requirements for the user interface, it was decided to rewrite the tool from scratch, entirely in Py...
