Hi Folks,
I am trying to make a listbox that will contain a looong data list,
sorted, so I will be able to pre-select a data line by coding. I have
done it. Say my listbox contains 1000 data lines, and my program has
figured out the data line 321 is needed, so just put the cursor on
data line 321.

Thanks, that did, indeed work with CPython trunk. I eventually switched from

Huge tree-based dicts would be somewhat slower than today's hash-based
