Package: python3-debian Severity: minor Hi,
The Deb822 code for _internal_parser starts with: > def _internal_parser(self, > sequence, # type: InputDataType > fields=None, # type: Optional[List[str]] > strict=None, # type: Optional[Dict[str, bool]] > ): > # type: (...) -> None > # The key is non-whitespace, non-colon characters before any colon. > key_part = r"^(?P<key>[^: \t\n\r\f\v]+)\s*:\s*" > single = re.compile(key_part + r"(?P<data>\S.*?)\s*$") > multi = re.compile(key_part + r"$") > multidata = re.compile(r"^\s(?P<data>.+?)\s*$") Note the 3 calls to re.compile for constant regular expressions (i.e. the text passed to re:compile does not change). This method is in turn called at least once per paragraph in your input file when using Deb822.iter_paragraphs, meaning 3 x N re.compile calls where 3 had been sufficient. The use of python3-apt will work around this deficiency, but in turn that requires python3-apt which can be problematic during architecture bootstrapping scenarios. ~Niels
