Binary array in python

<p>How to create big array in python, how efficient creating that</p> <p>in C/C++:</p> <pre><code>byte *data = (byte*)memalloc(10000); </code></pre> <p>or</p> <pre><code>byte *data = new byte[10000]; </code></pre> <p>in python...?</p>

<p>Typically with python, you'd just create a list</p> <pre><code>mylist = [] </code></pre> <p>and use it as an array. Alternatively, I think you might be looking for the array module. See <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/array.html" rel="nofollow">http://docs.python.org/library/array.html</a>.</p>

<p>Have a look at the <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/array.html">array module</a>:</p> <pre><code>import array array.array('B', [0] * 10000) </code></pre> <p>Instead of passing a list to initialize it, you can pass a generator, which is more memory efficient.</p>

<p>You can pre-allocate a list with:</p> <pre><code>l = [0] * 10000 </code></pre> <p>which will be slightly faster than .appending to it (as it avoids intermediate reallocations). However, this will generally allocate space for a list of pointers to integer objects, which will be larger than an array of bytes in C.<...

<p>If the FileInfo class has more than one ancestor class then you should definitely call all of their __init__() functions. You should also do the same for the __del__() function, which is a destructor.</p>

<p>Yes, you must call <code>__init__</code> for each parent class. The same goes for functions, if you are overriding a function that exists in both parents.</p>

<p>Not automatically, but with a bit of work, yes. You need to define a comparator function (or <strong>cmp</strong> method on the model class) that can compare two model instances according to the relevant attribute. For instance:</p> <pre><code>class Dated(models.Model): ... created = models.DateTimeField(defa...
