With Python 3.4.3, timeit says 0.437 usec -> 0.0685 usec. With Python
3.6, timeit says 0.157 usec -> 0.0907 usec. So it's faster on both
versions, but the speedup varies a lot.
Thanks to Gregory Szorc for the suggestion.
We have used dict.keys() which returns a dict_keys() object instead
of list on Python 3. So this patch replaces that with list comprehension
which works both on Python 2 and 3.
We add a minimal check using pylint for one case we knows we care about:
"mutable default" argument.
We'll likely extend this over time to cover other useful checks but this is a
good starting point.
This patch makes us respect pager.attend again if the extension is
enabled. It also brings back the default attend list, so e.g. summary
is not paged by default, just like it used to be before pager was
moved into core.
When the old pager extension is enabled, I think we should try to be
as BC as reasonable. To help with that, this patch brings back
test-pager.t as of 45ff5bf9e9c2 (pager: add a test of --pager=no
functionality, 2017-02-06), but under the name test-pager-legacy.t
However, since the behavior has changed in a few cases (notably by no
longer respecting pager.attend), the file is modified to work with the
current version. We will recover some lost BC in coming patches.
Also, to make sure the in-core pager does not depend on the pager
extension being enabled, this patch disables the extension in
test-pager.t. It turns out that pager.attend-$cmd was only supported
when the pager extension was enabled, so the tests are updated to
reflect that. We will need to decide what to do with these.
It was specified to be an empty list in 3d8abfdaa08a in 2007.
It was correct at the time. But when the function was
refactored in 7bca0f2718ab (2010), it started expecting a dict.
I guess this code path is untested?
Thanks to Yuya for spotting this.
urllib.parse.quote() accepts either str or bytes and returns str.
There exists a urllib.parse.quote_from_bytes() which only accepts
bytes. We should probably use that to retain strong typing and
avoid surprises.
In addition, since nearly all strings in Mercurial are bytes, we
probably don't want quote() returning unicode.
So, this patch implements a custom quote() that only accepts bytes
and returns bytes. The quoted URL should only contain URL safe
characters which is a strict subset of ASCII. So
`.encode('ascii', 'strict')` should be safe.
urllib.request imports a bunch of symbols from other urllib
modules. We should map to the original symbols not the
re-exported ones because this is more correct. Also, it
will prevent an import of urllib.request if only one of
the lower-level symbols/modules is needed.
Currently, no explicit garbage collection is performed when running
the microbenchmarks in `hg perf`. I think this is wrong because
garbage collection can have a significant impact on execution times.
And, if gc is triggered via the default heuristics, it will
fire effectively randomly during subsequent benchmark iterations
due to variable amount of garbage left over from previous runs.
Running a gc before invoking the measured function will help ensure
state is more consistent across all iterations.
By luck, we appear to not pass any long instances into
the JSON formatter. I suspect this will change with all the
Python 3 porting work. Plus I have another series that will
convert some ints to longs that triggers this.
I don't think this is any tight loops and we'd need to worry about
PyObject creation overhead. Also, I'm pretty sure strptime()
will be much slower than PyObject creation (date parsing is
surprisingly slow).
There shouldn't be a big perf hit creating a new object because
this function is complicated and does things that dwarf the cost
of creating a new PyObject.
