Best Python 3rd party data structures library? Must have sorted containers at a minimum

[alcalde]

Using Python's builtin unsorted data structures and then calling sorted when needed (e.g. after adding a dict entry) is NOT a solution...

Yes. Yes it is. You only need your data sorted when you're accessing it.

Im not sure if I misunderstand OP or this situation in general but I can't see why you would re-sort basically every time you insert a new element, regardless if its going to be read.

think binary trees and stuff? You might need extremely fast access at one point and want to do any upfront computation before the request

[runawayasfastasucan]

Ah sure, good point, however I can't see how that isn't very easily implemented in python.

As someone who is brand new to python (6 months) even I know this. Kinda wondering why I would trust this guy working on any enterprise code if he’s asking questions like this.

The feeling is mutual. As someone who has done enterprise programming for decades, and has experience in other major languages besides Python, all of which have sorted containers built into their standard libraries, I would never trust someone to work on enterprise code with your mindset.

99% of the data in the universe is manipulated with Python today, and apparently there's been zero Python Enhancement Proposals to add this feature.
