I had originally written the test script was originally written for something else and repurposed it. Actually, it's been repurposed at least twice so it has a long history and an unfortunate amount of cruft. I will work on porting it to run on py3k.
My original examples did not use random data because timeit is challenging to use to time sorting of random data and I wanted to post something relatively concise.
Sometime next week I plan to post extensive timing results on random data. I have been working on some fine-tuning of my patch as well as to my timing script.
