Oops, my mistake, I meant to post in python-list but accidentally posted here because it was in my favorites. Sorry, I'll post there. On Friday, February 7, 2014 1:58:05 AM UTC+2, Ram Rachum wrote:
Hi,
I'm curious. If I append an item to a list from the left using `list.insert`, will Python always move the entire list one item to the right (which can be super-slow) or will it check first to see whether it can just allocate more memory to the left of the list and put the item there, saving a lot of resources?
Thanks, Ram.
