[Python-Dev] Python 3.6 dict becomes compact and gets a private version; and keywords become ordered (original) (raw)

Note that this is made at the expense of the 20% slowing down an iteration.

$ ./python -m timeit -s "d = dict.fromkeys(range(10**6))" -- "list(d)" Python 3.5: 66.1 msec per loop Python 3.6: 82.5 msec per loop

On my Windows 7 PC with 3.5.2 and 3.6.0b1 installed from the standard python.org builds:

py -3.5 -m timeit -s "d = dict.fromkeys(range(10**6))" -- "list(d)" 10 loops, best of 3: 21.7 msec per loop py -3.6 -m timeit -s "d = dict.fromkeys(range(10**6))" -- "list(d)" 100 loops, best of 3: 19.6 msec per loop

So 3.6 is faster for me.
