How much faster is Python 2.7's new IO library compared to earlier versions?
The Python 2.7 update note says:
A new version of the io library, rewritten in C for performance.
I've played with Python 2.7 a bit, but I don't see any performance gain:
>>> from timeit import Timer
>>> t = Timer('f =开发者_运维技巧 open("E:\\db.txt", "r"); f.read(); f.close()')
>>> t.timeit(10000)
And the result:
- Python 2.6.5 -- 12.879124022745913
- Python 2.7 -- 12.905614540395504
Am I doing it wrong?
If you look at http://docs.python.org/library/io.html, the open()
method in the io
module isn't used by default for opening files in python 2.x. It was only in python 3.x which makes open()
use io.open()
.
Try:
from timeit import Timer
t = Timer('f = io.open("E:\\db.txt", "r"); f.read(); f.close()', 'import io')
t.timeit(10000)
