Unpacking Elixir: Concurrency

Python lists are generally not contiguously allocated memory (I think it might be if you are storing integers less than 255), don't be fooled. That's why you need numpy.

I'm talking about Python arrays

https://docs.python.org/3/library/array.html

   >>> a = array('B', [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
   >>> str(a.buffer_info()[1] * a.itemsize) + " bytes at address #" + str(a.buffer_info()[0])
   '5 bytes at address #4379640336'


   >>> b = array('l', [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
   >>> str(b.buffer_info()[1] * b.itemsize) + " bytes at address #" + str(b.buffer_info()[0])
   '40 bytes at address #4380812752'
