For a recent project I needed to select a container. There are plenty of python data structures to choose from. It seems that information on performance is missing (or not easy to find).

I think Python should include performance in the documentation of common data structures to help users select the appropriate types. Something in the style of c++ STL.

Do you mean absolute performance, or do you mean algorithmic order guarantees? I thought the latter were already documented. . .

Cheers, Nick.
