graph-depends: optimize remove_transitive_deps()
For large configurations, the execution time of
remove_transitive_deps() becomes really high, due to the number of
nested loops + the is_dep() function being recursive.
For an allyespackageconfig, the remove_extra_deps() function takes 334
seconds to execute, and the overall time to generate the .dot file is
6 minutes and 39 seconds. Here is a timing of the different
graph-depends steps and the overall execution time:
Getting dependencies: 42.5735 seconds
Turn deps into a dict: 0.0023 seconds
Remove extra deps: 334.1542 seconds
Get version: 22.4919 seconds
Generate .dot: 0.0197 seconds
real 6m39.289s
user 6m16.644s
sys 0m8.792s
By adding a very simple cache for the results of is_dep(), we bring
down the execution time of the "Remove extra deps" step from 334
seconds to just 4 seconds, reducing the overall execution time to 1
minutes and 10 seconds:
Getting dependencies: 42.9546 seconds
Turn deps into a dict: 0.0025 seconds
Remove extra deps: 4.9643 seconds
Get version: 22.1865 seconds
Generate .dot: 0.0207 seconds

[yann.morin.1998@free.fr:
- rename is_dep() to is_dep_uncached(), keep existig code as-is
- add is_dep() as a cached-version of is_dep_uncached()
- use constructs more conform with 2to3
- use exceptions (EAFP) rather than check-before-use (LBYL) to be more
pythonist; that even decreases the duration yet a little bit more!
