I think I mis-interpret Andrei's slides. I think what he meant to sort a chain of slices is such that to move the smaller elements into the first-given slices in-place, thus moving items around whatever lists underlying those slices. And for zip, I think he meant sort the first slice, but moving in- place the items referred by the others in lock-step. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
