Context, Pete.

  Professor Knuth's masterful work on the topics of sorting and
  searching spans some 800 pages of sophisticated technical text.  In
  Python practice, we reduce it to two imperatives (we read Knuth so
  you don't have to):

  * When you need to sort, find a way to use the built-in sort method
    of Python lists

  * When you need to search, find a way to use built-in dictionaries.
