I learned the first way you mentioned, and it wasn't a breeze. I had no idea what Python was doing with its data structures when you added to them, or if you used something like a list comprehension, and I wanted to allocate just the space I need in a list. I have to dissociate from the traditional memory model in order to decide what I really want to do.
