I also compared str%args and str.format() with Python 2.7 (byte strings), 3.2 (UTF-16 or UCS-4) and 3.3 (PEP 393): Python 3.3 is as fast as Python 2.7 and sometimes faster! (Whereras Python 3.2 is 10 to 30% slower than Python 2 in general) Very cool news! Cheers, Nick. Very cool indeed! Thanks, Victor. I have programs that are just full of formatting operations, that will benefit from this work. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
