I added some recipes to the Python Cookbook: - listmixin
Use ListMixin to create custom list classes from a small subset of list methods: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/440656 - pytime Improves on timeit by allowing you to time a function directly (no need for confusing import and exec B.S.), and not requiring you to specify the number of iterations for the timing loop. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/440657 - bitlist An example of listmixin: A memory compacted list of bits, uses 1 byte per every 8 elements. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/440658 I hope you find these useful. You can find more Python stuff by myself (and other misc thoughts) at my blog (http://barnesc.blogspot.com/). - Connelly Barnes -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
