Message 386133 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

In particular, I sort the source list by age when working on larger extensions, this makes sure that the source files I edited last get compiled first, which speeds up edit/build cycles.

On the one hand, this sounds creepily like https://xkcd.com/1172, but on the other: why do we need to sort those extensions by name? Wouldn’t sorting by some attribute of those extensions (including their size) be better?
