Dave Baggett <jyt...@baggett.org> added the comment: Yes, sorry, I meant "built-in list type" not "array". Your point about using lists this way is valid, and is why I used array.array('c'). I will do as you suggest and try all three methods. I did time the array.array approach vs. the one currently in the code and it was about 30 times faster.
