⚡️ Speed up method digifinex.sign by 26%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 26% (0.26x) speedup for digifinex.sign in python/ccxt/digifinex.py

⏱️ Runtime : 2.69 milliseconds → 2.13 milliseconds (best of 94 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 26% speedup through several targeted optimizations to frequently-called utility methods in the CCXT exchange library:

Key Optimizations:

1. keysort Method: Eliminated OrderedDict construction overhead by returning a sorted list of tuples directly. This removes unnecessary dictionary creation since the caller (urlencode) only needs sorted key-value pairs for iteration.

2. implode_params Method: Replaced inefficient string replacement loop with a single regex substitution using re.sub() with a callback function. This dramatically reduces the overhead from ~2.4ms to ~0.34ms (86% improvement) by avoiding multiple string operations and dictionary lookups.

3. urlencode Method: Added early exit for empty parameters and conditional dictionary copying. Only creates a new dictionary when boolean values are present (which need conversion to 'true'/'false' strings), avoiding unnecessary copies in the common case.

4. omit Method: Consolidated key removal operations using set-based logic instead of nested loops with individual deletions. Uses result.pop(key, None) for safer removal and eliminates redundant conditionals.

Performance Impact: The line profiler shows the most dramatic improvement in implode_params (from 2.4ms to 0.34ms total time), which is called frequently during API request signing. The keysort optimization saves ~115μs per call by avoiding OrderedDict construction.

Test Results: Large-scale tests with 1000 parameters show the most significant gains (30.5% faster), indicating these optimizations scale well with parameter count - critical for exchanges handling complex API requests with many query parameters.

These optimizations are particularly valuable for high-frequency trading scenarios where API request latency directly impacts performance, as evidenced by the substantial improvements in large parameter test cases.

# Test public GET request, spot endpoint, with params
codeflash_output = digifinex_instance.sign("ticker", ["public", "spot"], "GET", {"symbol": "BTC_USDT"}); result = codeflash_output # 16.8μs -> 17.4μs (3.14% slower)

def test_public_swap_get_with_params(digifinex_instance):
# Test public GET request, swap endpoint, with params

2. Edge Test Cases

def test_headers_are_not_shared_between_calls(digifinex_instance):
# Ensure headers are not mutated between calls
codeflash_output = digifinex_instance.sign("ticker", ["public", "spot"], "GET", {}); r1 = codeflash_output # 11.1μs -> 12.1μs (8.26% slower)
codeflash_output = digifinex_instance.sign("order", ["private", "spot"], "GET", {"symbol": "BTC_USDT"}); r2 = codeflash_output # 29.5μs -> 29.0μs (1.62% faster)

3. Large Scale Test Cases

def test_large_number_of_params_public_spot(digifinex_instance):
# Test with a large number of params (up to 1000)
params = {f"k{i}": f"v{i}" for i in range(1000)}
codeflash_output = digifinex_instance.sign("ticker", ["public", "spot"], "GET", params); result = codeflash_output # 1.24ms -> 949μs (30.5% faster)
# All params should be present in the url
for i in range(1000):
pass

def test_large_path_param_replacement(digifinex_instance):
# Path with many param replacements
path = "order/" + "/".join([f"{{id{i}}}" for i in range(10)])
params = {f"id{i}": str(i) for i in range(10)}
codeflash_output = digifinex_instance.sign(path, ["public", "spot"], "GET", params); result = codeflash_output # 20.3μs -> 22.1μs (8.11% slower)
# Path replaced correctly
expected_path = "order/" + "/".join([str(i) for i in range(10)])

def test_performance_large_scale(digifinex_instance):
# Performance test: ensure sign completes within reasonable time for 1000 params
import time
params = {f"k{i}": f"v{i}" for i in range(1000)}
start = time.time()
codeflash_output = digifinex_instance.sign("ticker", ["public", "spot"], "GET", params); result = codeflash_output # 1.22ms -> 945μs (29.5% faster)
end = time.time()

codeflash_output is used to check that the output of the original code is the same as that of the optimized code.
