Shifting items in a list?
#4
collections.deque is for this an optimized datatype.

It has appendleft, popleft, pop, extendleft and rotate.
You can also initialize the deque with maxlen, which is the maximum size.

Example with moving average:

import collections


def moving_average(iterable, size):
    q = collections.deque(maxlen=size)
    for element in iterable:
        q.append(element)
        yield sum(q) / len(q)

r20 = range(20)
list(moving_average(r20, 5))
