From e09ec8597cdc9e0a1ec45985ff1d7bb45ed19cb3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Foutrein Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2026 16:14:38 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Make Source index-based instead of materializing a char list `Source.__init__` built `iter([(i, TOMLChar(c)) for i, c in enumerate(self)])`, allocating one tuple and one TOMLChar per character of the whole input up front. Track an integer index into the underlying string instead: `inc()` bumps the index and reads `self[idx]`, and state save/restore snapshots the index rather than copying an iterator. Construction is O(1) and per-character work is deferred to the read. No behaviour change (full suite incl. the toml-test conformance submodule passes); ~1.07-1.14x faster parsing across document sizes. --- CHANGELOG.md | 1 + tomlkit/source.py | 40 +++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- 2 files changed, 24 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index fa39e4f..2b556ed 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -5,6 +5,7 @@ ### Changed - Speed up membership tests (`key in ...`) on `Container`, `Table` and `InlineTable` with native `__contains__` implementations, avoiding the inherited `MutableMapping` round-trip through `__getitem__` (which resolves the value and builds an exception on every absent key).

For long string values this dominates. Scan the run of ordinary characters up to the next delimiter, backslash or control character in a single pass (`Source.advance_until`) and append the whole slice at once; the stop character is then handled by the existing branch on the next iteration. Multiline strings keep the per-character loop (CRLF handling). The stop-set is exactly the control characters the per-character loop rejects, so InvalidControlChar / escape / delimiter handling is unchanged.
