cnamedtuple 0.1.6
An implementation of namedtuple written in c for warp speed.
Tested against Python 3.4 and 3.5, and 3.6 as of 3084914245d2
Warp Speed
Time to go fast.
Setup
Use qualified imports so that we can tell which namedtuple we are using.
>>> from namedtuple import namedtuple as cnamedtuple
>>> from collections import namedtuple as stdnamedtuple
>>> from pickle import dumps, loads
Little numbers
Cute graphs
These operations scale with the number of fields.
Less cute numbers
These operations do not scale with number of fields.
std_inst
is an instance of a collections.namedtuple
created type
with six named fields: a, b, c, d, e, and f.
c_inst
is an instance of a cnamedtuple.namedtuple
created type
with six named fields: a, b, c, d, e, and f.
