I have to wonder if my messages are all ending up in your spam folder for some reason. :-) PEP 3128 (which solves your problem, but not using the implementation you suggest) http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3128/ Implementation as an extension module: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/blist/ Related discussion: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2007-April/006757.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2007-May/007491.html Detailed performance comparison: http://stutzbachenterprises.com/performance-blist I maintain a private fork of Python 3 with the blist replacing the regular list, as a way of rigorously testing the blist implementation. Although I originally proposed a PEP, I am content to have the blist exist as a third-party module. -- Daniel Stutzbach, Ph.D. President, Stutzbach Enterprises, LLC -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
