Fastest nested loops over a single list (with elements remove or not)

More precisely: I have a list of 'file' objects, that each has a timestamp. I want to group the files by their timestamp and a time offset. Ex. star...
Extremely large Boolean list in Python
I want to create an object in python that is a collection of around 200,000,000 true/false values. So that I can most effectively change or recall any given true/false value, so that I can quickly determine if any given number, like 123,456,000 is true or false or change its value. Is the best way to do this a list? or an array? or a cl...
Python | How to make local variable global, after script execution
Here is the code. What I need to do is find a way to make 'i' global so that upon repeated executions the value of 'i' will increment by 1 instead of being reset to 0 everytime.

Facebook Connect help.
According to the Facebook API documentation, most of the work is handled through javascript. That means that all the processing is done, and then the front end checks if the user is connected to Facebook/authorized. right?

Python logging for non-trivial uses?
I'm attempting to use the python logging module to do complex things. I'll leave the motivation for this design out because it would greatly lengthen the post, but I need to have a root logger that spams a regular log file for our code and libraries that use logging -- and a collection of other loggers that go to different log files. ...
