This is *exactly* the kind of testcases I'm looking for to test the soon-to-be-released pyvm. Great! I'll be back with results.
For now, a fast anagrams.py is -------------------------------------- import sys
WORDS = [ i.rstrip () for i in file ('/usr/share/dict/words') ]def findana (anagram):
sorted_anagram = sorted(anagram.lower())
len_anagram = len (anagram)
found = [ word for word in WORDS if len(word)==len_anagram and sorted(word)==sorted_anagram ]
print "Anagrams of %s: %s" % (anagram, ' '.join(found))
for i in sys.argv [1:]:
findana (i)
-----------------------------------------
And timings....
