No. $ python -m timeit -n20000 -s"items = []" "items.append(42)" 20000 loops, best of 3: 0.554 usec per loop $ python -m timeit -n20000 -s"items = [42]*10**6" "items.append(42)" 20000 loops, best of 3: 0.529 usec per loop http://wiki.python.org/moin/TimeComplexity Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
