Hi,
Basically, what I'm trying to do is store large amounts of data in a
list or dictionary and then convert that to a custom formatted xml
file.
My list looks roughly like this:
(d[],r[c[d[p[],p[R,C,I]]]])
My question is, would it be faster to use a dictionary if the elements
of the lists have to be put in alphebetical order, or just use lists as
above(since hashes are faster supposedly)?
{d;d[],r;name[{d;d[{p;p[]}],c;name[{d;d[{p;p[]}]}]}]}
Please consider the amount of code necessary to create/decode this
(and sorry if this doesn't make any sense..)
-thanks 2 2468

Well... Just *don't* rely on *any* order with dicts.
If you need fast keyed access to a very large dataset, you may want to
have a look at btrees (one possible implementation here : http://zopewiki.org/BTree).
Now since it's XML related, this may also (or not) be useful: http://effbot.org/zone/celementtree.htm http://effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm

Thanks for the reply ;)
I was hoping not to complicate things with zope, tho Btrees look
interesting.
Oh - and about the xml, I'm using something very similar to elementree
which I found in the python cookbook: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Coo.../Recipe/157358
