I sort-of agree with Guido that any calls to optimize dictionaries may do more good than bad, but I think that if we make the interface sufficiently abstract we may have something that may work. I was thinking of something analogous to madvise(): the user can specify high level access patterns. For Python dictionaries the access patterns would probably be - I'm going to write a lot of stuff - I'm done writing, and from now on I'm mainly going to read - I haven't a clue what I'm going to do Especially the "I'm going to read from now on" could be put to good use, for instance after completing the dictionary of a class. -- - Jack Jansen <Jack.Jansen@oratrix.com> http://www.cwi.nl/~jack - - If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman -
