You should treat Python lists as an opaque item. You shouldn't concern
yourself with the implementation details. Python lists are fast and
optimized for most use cases. Unless you have specific needs for highly
specialized data types, use lists.
Just *don't* try to abuse lists by creating fancy stuff e.g. linked
lists. The memory overhead is going to kill your app.
