For now OrderedDict always creates an empty dict for __dict__.>>> from collections import OrderedDict>>> import gc>>> gc.get_referents(OrderedDict())[{}]>>> class OD(OrderedDict): pass... >>> gc.get_referents(OD())[<class '__main__.OD'>, {}]But dict subclasses (as well as most other classes) create an empty dict for __dict__ only if needed.>>> class D(dict): pass... >>> d = D()>>> gc.get_referents(d)[<class '__main__.D'>]>>> d.__dict__{}>>> gc.get_referents(d)[{}, <class '__main__.D'>]This allows to save CPU time for dictionary creation and a memory (144 bytes on 32-bit, twice as much on 64-bit).Proposed patch makes __dict__ in OrderedDict to be created only if needed. | |||

Hi Serhiy, I tried to see whether the patch's unit test in test_ordered_dict.py would fail when the changes to odictobject.c were not applied and it did not. The code change to test_ordered_dict.py does not appear to test the fact that a dict is not automatically created when an ordered dict is instantiated (?). | |||

The patch have no visible effect, except lesser memory consumption. The latter is hard to measure in tests. Additional tests just ensure that the patch doesn't break existing behavior. | |||
