plinn: Partition Like It's 1999

The partition function

This module implements a function called "partition."

It is an optimized version of the following python function:

def partition(pred, it):
    f = []
    t = []
    for item in it:
        (t if pred(item) else f).append(item)
    return f, t

Benchmarks

Here are some benchmarks on my i7-6600U laptop with python 3.9.0 comparing against several pure-python variants of the same function:
