What is best for Python? Sort() or selection sort?

Question

Python

I came across one dilemma, which is better to use for Python. sort() sorting method or is it better to use selection sorting algorithm?

Answer 1

If this is not a learning task, the purpose of which is to learn how to write a sort, use the standard one.
Selection sort works for the square of the number of elements. An array of 1000 elements will require about 1,000,000 comparisons.
Standard is a variation on the theme of quick sort. Runs in O(n * log(n)). This is about 100 times faster.
The larger the array, the larger the gap will be.
