I created a DRAFT page on the Racket GitHub wiki:
https://github.com/racket/racket/wiki/Python-to-Racket
It links to a 'Choosing a data structure' page
https://github.com/racket/racket/wiki/Choosing-a-data-structure
- this just as copy of the table created by Jens Axel Søgaard at:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27584416/in-racket-what-is-the-advantage-of-lists-over-vectors/27589146#27589146
)
Please edit/delete as you see fit
Kind regards
Stephen
