    ...lists than the previous implementation, and reported to be just as fast on randomly ordered lists on several major platforms. This sort is also stable (if A==B and A precedes B in the list at the start, A precedes B after the sort too), although the language definition does not guarantee stability. A potential drawback is that list.sort() may require temp space of len(list)*2 bytes (*4 on a 64-bit machine). It's therefore possible for list.sort() to raise MemoryError now, even if a comparison...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...list of candidates quickly became: Java or Python. Or, more precisely, Java+Jakarta or Python+Zope. Two key factors led to the choice of Python. First, was the need to make extensive use of metaprogramming. Second, for simplicity's sake, ERP5 needed to be implemented in a single language from core architecture to scripting. Metaprogramming is a technique that allows the programmer to redefine the semantics of the implementation language at runtime. It can be used to endow extremely abstract impl...

  • Comparing Python to Other Languages

    ...list and dictionary types, for which rich syntactic support is built straight into the language, find a use in almost every Python program. Because of the run-time typing, Python's run time must work harder than Java's. For example, when evaluating the expression a+b, it must first inspect the objects a and b to find out their type, which is not known at compile time. It then invokes the appropriate addition operation, which may be an overloaded user-defined method. Java, on the other han...
