This is stupid code, but it should be faster with PEP 393 than before, should it not?


str = ' ' * 5000000 + "this is really a string example....wow!!!";
for ix in range( 9000 ):
    z = max(str)
print("Max character: " + max(str))


While the new C API seems to support quickly finding the max character in a string, Python code does not benefit.
