Hi All,
My research involves genomic research and the use of sets (recently
introduced in version 2.4) makes my life easier in a lot of ways. However, I
noticed that working with large set slows the script to unbearable speed.
Below I compare two simple scripts, one makes use of a list and the oth
Hello,
x = x.union(set([i]) is the problem. You are creating two new data
structures (set[i], and x.union) at every iteration, and I suspect
union is a slow operation.
Just change this to "x.add(i)" and the script will run 20x faster
than your list version!
$ ./settest2.py

Dear Bob, your answer makes me feel very stupid and I think you're
even angry at me for appearing stupid, or maybe for hinting that
python was not good enough. Don't get me wrong, I love python, and
will not switch to assembly any time soon
Of course, I don't use that kind of code it was

I'm trying to format some help docs into Apple Help format for an

Here is my code:

That particular function isn't. The Apple docs basically say you
can use the plist stuff (without giving sufficient detail for
a non-Mac native de
