[New-bugs-announce] [issue30476] Add _GenerateCRCTable() to zipfile.py to pre-compute CRC Table

[Shubha Ramani]

New submission from Shubha Ramani:

It is wasteful to generate the CRC Table every time, via _crctable = list(map(_gen_crc, range(256))). Better to have a pre-computed table.

I will submit the patch which incorporates this feature along with micro-benchmark results. Related issue:
