I'd also like to suggest that the question not be "most efficient" but "fastest". I don't think it should treat "efficient" and "fast" as synonyms. "Efficient" can mean things other than execution speed, such as memory usage, or programmer time. Are there space/time considerations besides execution time? What if the user has a huge list and wants to use as little new allocated RAM as possible? I understand that it's immediately after the "How do I speed up my program?" question, and I think it's worth considering making the question more explicit what kind of efficiency we're talking about. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40344> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
