-"""Heap queue algorithm (a.k.a. priority queue).
-
-Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
-all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
-non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
-property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
-
-Usage:
-
-heap = []            # creates an empty heap
-heappush(heap, item) # pushes a new item on the heap
-item = heappop(heap) # pops the smallest item from the heap
-item = heap[0]       # smallest item on the heap without popping it
-heapify(x)           # transforms list into a heap, in-place, in linear time
-item = heapreplace(heap, item) # pops and returns smallest item, and adds
-                               # new item; the heap size is unchanged
-
-Our API differs from textbook heap algorithms as follows:
-
-- We use 0-based indexing.  This makes the relationship between the
-  index for a node and the indexes for its children slightly less
-  obvious, but is more suitable since Python uses 0-based indexing.
-
-- Our heappop() method returns the smallest item, not the largest.
-
-These two make it possible to view the heap as a regular Python list
-without surprises: heap[0] is the smallest item, and heap.sort()
-maintains the heap invariant!

-Heaps are arrays for which a[k] <= a[2*k+1] and a[k] <= a[2*k+2] for
-all k, counting elements from 0.  For the sake of comparison,
-non-existing elements are considered to be infinite.  The interesting
-property of a heap is that a[0] is always its smallest element.
-
-The strange invariant above is meant to be an efficient memory
-representation for a tournament.  The numbers below are `k', not a[k]:
-
-                                   0
-
-                  1                                 2
-
-          3               4                5               6
-
-      7       8       9       10      11      12      13      14

-    15 16   17 18   19 20   21 22   23 24   25 26   27 28   29 30

-
-In the tree above, each cell `k' is topping `2*k+1' and `2*k+2'.  In
-an usual binary tournament we see in sports, each cell is the winner
-over the two cells it tops, and we can trace the winner down the tree
-to see all opponents s/he had.  However, in many computer applications
-of such tournaments, we do not need to trace the history of a winner.
-To be more memory efficient, when a winner is promoted, we try to
-replace it by something else at a lower level, and the rule becomes
-that a cell and the two cells it tops contain three different items,
-but the top cell "wins" over the two topped cells.
-
-If this heap invariant is protected at all time, index 0 is clearly
-the overall winner.  The simplest algorithmic way to remove it and
-find the "next" winner is to move some loser (let's say cell 30 in the
-diagram above) into the 0 position, and then percolate this new 0 down
-the tree, exchanging values, until the invariant is re-established.
-This is clearly logarithmic on the total number of items in the tree.
-By iterating over all items, you get an O(n ln n) sort.
-
-A nice feature of this sort is that you can efficiently insert new
-items while the sort is going on, provided that the inserted items are
-not "better" than the last 0'th element you extracted.  This is
-especially useful in simulation contexts, where the tree holds all
-incoming events, and the "win" condition means the smallest scheduled
-time.  When an event schedule other events for execution, they are
-scheduled into the future, so they can easily go into the heap.  So, a
-heap is a good structure for implementing schedulers (this is what I
-used for my MIDI sequencer :-).
-
-Various structures for implementing schedulers have been extensively
-studied, and heaps are good for this, as they are reasonably speedy,
-the speed is almost constant, and the worst case is not much different
-than the average case.  However, there are other representations which
-are more efficient overall, yet the worst cases might be terrible.
-
-Heaps are also very useful in big disk sorts.  You most probably all
-know that a big sort implies producing "runs" (which are pre-sorted
-sequences, which size is usually related to the amount of CPU memory),
-followed by a merging passes for these runs, which merging is often
-very cleverly organised[1].  It is very important that the initial
-sort produces the longest runs possible.  Tournaments are a good way
-to that.  If, using all the memory available to hold a tournament, you
-replace and percolate items that happen to fit the current run, you'll
-produce runs which are twice the size of the memory for random input,
-and much better for input fuzzily ordered.
-
-Moreover, if you output the 0'th item on disk and get an input which
-may not fit in the current tournament (because the value "wins" over
-the last output value), it cannot fit in the heap, so the size of the
-heap decreases.  The freed memory could be cleverly reused immediately
-for progressively building a second heap, which grows at exactly the
-same rate the first heap is melting.  When the first heap completely
-vanishes, you switch heaps and start a new run.  Clever and quite
-effective!
-
-In a word, heaps are useful memory structures to know.  I use them in
-a few applications, and I think it is good to keep a `heap' module
-around. :-)
-
---------------------
-[1] The disk balancing algorithms which are current, nowadays, are
-more annoying than clever, and this is a consequence of the seeking
-capabilities of the disks.  On devices which cannot seek, like big
-tape drives, the story was quite different, and one had to be very
-clever to ensure (far in advance) that each tape movement will be the
-most effective possible (that is, will best participate at
-"progressing" the merge).  Some tapes were even able to read
-backwards, and this was also used to avoid the rewinding time.
-Believe me, real good tape sorts were quite spectacular to watch!
-From all times, sorting has always been a Great Art! :-)

-# We *could* break out of the loop as soon as we find a pos where newitem <=

-# Building the heap by using heappush() 1000 times instead required
