When I write a log to file using the standard module **logging**, will each log be flushed to disk separately? For example, will the following code flush log by 10 times? ``` logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG, filename='debug.log') for i in xrange(10): logging.debug("test") ``` if so, will it slow d...
Yes, it does flush the output at every call. You can see this in the source code for the `StreamHandler`: ``` def emit(self, record): """ Emit a record.

since `file1` and `file2` are in the same directory, you don't even need to have an `__init__.py` file. If you're going to be scaling up, then leave it there.

Launching modules inside a package as executables is a *bad practice*. When you develop something you either build a library, which is intended to be imported by other programs and thus it doesn't make much sense to allow executing its submodules directly, or you build an executable in which case there's no reason to ...

Iterables can only be iterated over *once*. You create a *new* iterable in your loop instead. Cycle cannot do that, it has to work with whatever you passed in. `cycle` cannot simply recreate the iterable. It thus is forced to store all the elements the original iterator produces.

`range` does not include the end value. When you do `range(len(sort_this)-2, 0, -1)`, your iteration goes from `len(sort_this)-2` to 1, so you never hit the first element (at index 0). Change your range to `range(len(sort_this)-2, -1, -1)`
