I know very little about either. I need to handle score input files for Csound. Each line is a list of floating point values where each column has a particular meaning to the program.
I need to compose large (hundreds, thousands, maybe millions) lists and be able to do math on, or possibly sort by various columns, among other operations. A common requirement would be to do the same math operation on each value in a column, or redistribute the values according to an exponential curve, etc. One wrinkle is that the first column of a Csound score is actually a single character. I was thinking if the data types all had to be the same, then I'd make a translation table or just use the ascii value of the character, but if I could mix types that might be a smidge better. It seems like both libraries are possible choices. Would one be the obvious choice for me? Thanks! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
