Message 150565 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

I'm in private contact with Paul and we are working together. He has done extended research and I'll gladly follow his expertise. I've already discussed the issue with small strings, but I can't recall if it was a private mail to Paul or a public one to the dev list.

Can all this be discussed on this issue now that it's the official point of reference? It will avoid the repetition of arguments we see here and there.

(I don't think special-casing small strings makes sense, because then you have two algorithms to audit rather than one)
