So the question is more: why, with Python being the way it is, do the heap functions operate on a list? I think heapq.heapify is the answer: in linear time, it heapifies a list *in place*.
There's no reason a Heap object couldn't accomodate that case. E.g. the constructor could optionally accept an existing list to heapify and wrap. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
