Is there any way to use a true lists (with O(c) insertion/deletion and O(n) search) in python? For example, to make things like reversing part of the list with a constant time.
reversing part of the list could also be interpreted as reading it in the opposite direction from a given starting point to a known end.
Perhaps you want to look into the array module, but you have to sacrifice the typelessness of a true python list: it can only contain numerical data (also char, byte). But don't know the timing pattern of array objects, only that they are *way* faster then lists. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
