Perhaps i should not have said the most Python correct.
It looks as if it may well be the approach using the least
amount of work the interpreter must complete.

That's generally true. Python can always do things the long way but its
generally more efficient both in programmer time and performance
speed to use the built-in functions/methods as much as possible.
Most of them are written in C after all!
