Speaking of micro-optimizations, did you consider a better than naive algorithm for "Count the number of set bits in n" in your patch? HAKMEM 169 comes to mind and being a divide and conquer too, it seems like a good fit. Certainly an overkill if used just for math.factorial(), but this is probably a useful function to have around. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8692> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
