Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2014-6292
2014-05-13 04:00:29
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : python-blist
Product : Fedora 19
Version : 1.3.6
Release : 1.fc19
URL :
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/blist/
Summary : A faster list implementation for Python
Description :
The blist is a drop-in replacement for the Python list that provides
better performance when modifying large lists. The blist package also
provides sortedlist, sortedset, weaksortedlist, weaksortedset,
sorteddict, and btuple types.
Python's built-in list is a dynamically-sized array; to insert or
remove an item from the beginning or middle of the list, it has to
move most of the list in memory, i.e., O(n) operations. The blist uses
a flexible, hybrid array/tree structure and only needs to move a small
portion of items in memory, specifically using O(log n) operations.
For small lists, the blist and the built-in list have virtually
identical performance.
