[Python-Dev] RFC: Add a new builtin strarray type to Python? (original) (raw)

I restored this hack in Python 3.3 using PyUnicodeAppend() in ceval.c and by optimizing PyUnicodeAppend() (try to append in-place). str+=str is closer again to ''.join:

Why are you checking, in unicode_resizable, whether the string is from unicode_latin1? If it is, then it should have a refcount of at least 2, so the very first test in the function should already exclude it.
