The String Append Benchmark
This is a microbenchmark, but makes use of a technique I use extensively
(creating a file for example by growing a string a character at a time).
def test():
s=""
for i in range(10000000):
s+="*"
print (len(s))
test()

The minor snag that you might like to correct with your microbenchmark,
which any experienced Python programmer knows, is that you *NEVER, EVER*
create strings like this. Given that you've admitted earlier today that
you couldn't get a simple slice to work, how much, if anything, do you
actually know about Python?
