Python Snippets - using the Bisect Module to Maintain Sorting Order in a List

This video demonstrates an efficient way to insert new elements into already-sorted lists in Python - while maintaining the sorting order - using the bisect module.

We use the bisect.insort() function to efficiently calculate, using a logarithmic binary search algorithm, the point of insertion for a new element.

We demonstrate this with a small list of English football teams - but bisect operations work best with large lists of thousands/millions of items.
