Greg's version's in nondist/sandbox/sets, right? Where's Aric's?
Ah, a C implementation. It seems premature to me to consider such optimization -- for now, it appears, we're still looking around for the right architecture, and that's much more plastic and faster to experiment with in Python. So, I have not studied set.c in detail, just browsed the readme to get an idea of the interface -- and that seems even more peculiar to me than freeze-on-hashing, although generally similar. So, for now, I've stuck to Python, and I think it will be time to move to C once the Python-level part appears good.
What should I do with the modified set.py -- submit it as a patch, or ... ?
I forget -- do you have SF commit permission? If so, feel free to
Nope -- I may be the only PSF member without commit permission, I suspect.
add a competing version to the sandbox. Otherwise, a SF submission would be good (and post a link to python-dev when you upload it).
Done -- it's patch 580995 (not sure how that translates to an URL -- the tracker's resulting URL is quite complicated:-). Alex
