Early versions of Python used a hybrid of samplesort (a variant of quicksort with large sample size) and binary insertion sort as the built-in sorting algorithm. This proved to be somewhat unstable, and was replaced in version 2.3 with an adaptive mergesort algorithm. I am comparing several rudimentary sorting routines, …
