Raymond Hettinger 31017aed36 SF #904720: dict.update should take a 2-tuple sequence like dict.__init_ 
(Championed by Bob Ippolito.)

The update() method for mappings now accepts all the same argument forms
as the dict() constructor.  This includes item lists and/or keyword
arguments.

Raymond Hettinger 79b5cf1129 Mention the optimization of list.extend(). 2004-02-17 10:46:32 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger ab517d2eac Fine tune the speed/space trade-off for overallocating small lists. 
The Py2.3 approach overallocated small lists by up to 8 elements.
The last checkin would limited this to one but slowed down (by 20 to 30%)
the creation of small lists between 3 to 8 elements.

This tune-up balances the two, limiting overallocation to 3 elements
(significantly reducing space consumption from Py2.3) and running faster
than the previous checkin.

The first part of the growth pattern (0, 4, 8, 16) neatly meshes with
allocators that trigger data movement only when crossing a power of two
boundary.  Also, then even numbers mesh well with common data alignments.

Raymond Hettinger 238b267bf6 Lists are measured in elements not bytes. 2004-02-13 21:50:27 +00:00
