How to quickly find an object in the list?

Question

Python

Now it works like this, but it will be very slow when there are more servers

for server in self.servers:
    if server.id == id:
        return server

Answer 1

If your list does not have a billion servers, then no, it will not be slow.
But if you really want to, then a typical tactic is to make a lookup_field: object dictionary.
If you absolutely need lists, you can use the bisect module.
