Does python have a sorted list?

Question

By which I mean a structure with:

• O(log n) complexity for x.push() operations
• O(log n) complexity to find an element
• O(n) comple

Answer 1

It may not be hard to implement your own sortlist on Python. Below is a proof of concept:

import bisect

class sortlist:
    def __init__(self, list):
        self.list = list
        self.sort()
    def sort(self):
        l = []
        for i in range(len(self.list)):
            bisect.insort(l, self.list[i])
        self.list = l
        self.len = i
    def insert(self, value):
        bisect.insort(self.list, value)
        self.len += 1
    def show(self):
        print self.list
    def search(self,value):
        left = bisect.bisect_left(self.list, value)
        if abs(self.list[min([left,self.len-1])] - value) >= abs(self.list[left-1] - value):
            return self.list[left-1]
        else:
            return self.list[left]

list = [101, 3, 10, 14, 23, 86, 44, 45, 45, 50, 66, 95, 17, 77, 79, 84, 85, 91, 73]
slist = sortlist(list)
slist.show()
slist.insert(99)
slist.show()
print slist.search(100000000)
print slist.search(0)
print slist.search(56.7)
