Best way to sort 1M records in Python

Question

I have a service that runs that takes a list of about 1,000,000 dictionaries and does the following

myHashTable = {}
myLists = { \'hits\':{}, \'misses\':{},          


        

Answer 1

sorted(myLists[key], key=mylists[key].get, reverse=True)

should save you some time, though not a lot.
