Hi Python gurus! I'm going to read in an Ascii file containing float numbers in rows and columns (say 10 columns 500000 rows) for further numerical process. Which format is best to save them in, eg, dictionary, list, or numpy array when it comes to performance?
Will it be beneficial to convert all strings to float directly after reading or it doesn't matter to save them as string and thereafter when it comes to calculation convert them to floats? Thank you! /Ben -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
