Actually, yes, equality is implemented with a short-cut that checks for
identity first. That makes something

Python itself *is* open source software. It doesn't *require* you to

Oh my, the sheer ignorance that sentence reveals.
Python and the standard library *is* licensed

In the development of my ADC project i have a new new challenge.

I'm running into some performance / memory bottlenecks on large lists.
Is there any easy way to minimize/optimize memory usage?
Simple str() and unicode objects() [Python 2.6.4/Linux/x86]:

>>> sys.getsizeof('0')25 bytes
>>> sys.getsizeof(u'')28 bytes

Yes, lots of ways. For example, do you *need* large lists? Often a better
design is to use generators and iterators

Instead of using 'is' use '=='. Maybe not as cute, but definitely more
robust!
It's also just as efficient if you use strings that
resemble identifiers, because they will be interned,
so the comparison will end up just doing an indentity
test anyway.

That's true, although I can't think of a use case for an object

Steven, thank you for answering. See my comments inline. Perhaps I
should have formulated my question a bit differently: Are there any
*compact* high performance containers for unicode()/str() objects in
Python? By *compact* I don't mean compression. Just optimized for
memory usage, rather than per
