Hello, I was told by someone (as a comment) that a code snippet such as this "would make Pythonistas talk my ear off about how evil the append()" function is:
>>> mylist = [] >>> mylist.append(1) # a number of times over I have some ideas that on an append() the list's internal size increases (doubled?) since CPython over-allocates memory, and such. So, the question is: what is the alternative to growing a list when I have no idea what items or how many may be there? Thanks, Amit. -- http://echorand.me _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
