How can you speed it? Does anyone know if pytable can take
non-homogeneous objects type?

I want to do a sort on a list of objects based on a similar attributes in
each object for example time of creation of this object.

... def __init__(self, name, age):
... self.name = name
... self.age = age
...

>>>
>>> students = [Student('John', 18), Student('Jill', 17)]
>>> students.sort(lambda x,y: cmp(x.age, y.age))
>>> [student.name for student in students] ['Jill', 'John']
>>>

See `help(list.sort)` for details.
