The proposed PR makes multi-argument functions in the math module atan2(), copysign(), remainder() and hypot() to use the fast call convention and inline arguments tuple unpacking. Results: $ ./python -m timeit -s "from math import atan2" "atan2(1.0, 1.0)" Unpatched: 5000000 loops, best of 5: 79.5 nsec per loop Patched: 5000000 loops, best of 5: 66.1 nsec per loop $ ./python -m timeit -s "from math import copysign" "copysign(1.0, 1.0)" Unpatched: 5000000 loops, best of 5: 90.3 nsec per loop Patched: 10000000 loops, best of 5: 35.9 nsec per loop $ ./python -m timeit -s "from math import remainder" "remainder(1.0, 1.0)" Unpatched: 5000000 loops, best of 5: 69.5 nsec per loop Patched: 5000000 loops, best of 5: 44.5 nsec per loop $ ./python -m timeit -s "from math import hypot" "hypot(1.0, 1.0)" Unpatched: 5000000 loops, best of 5: 63.6 nsec per loop Patched: 5000000 loops, best of 5: 47.4 nsec per loop
