All code referred to is from bltinmodule.c, Python 2.7.8:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/2.7/Python/bltinmodule.c
filter implements and optimization for PyBool_Type, making it equivalent to PyNone:
# Line 303
if (func == (PyObject *)&PyBool_Type || func == Py_None)
The specializations for tuples, byte strings and unicode don't have this:
# Lines 2776, 2827, 2956, 2976
if (func == Py_None)
This is a damper against recommending `filter(bool, ...)`.
---
Python 3 of course does not have these specializations, so has no bug. |
