I don't see a "break" so why the "/2" ? also IIUC the ranges are more than just ordered... they're all equal and computed by for i in xrange(no_of_bins+1): rngs[i] = dmin + (rng*i) so my guess is that instead of searching with for j in xrange(len(rngs)-1): if rngs[j] <= data[i] < rngs[j+1]: one could just do j = int((data[i] - dmin)/rng) The code with this change gets roughly about twice faster.
