# TheAlgorithms/Python

> An educational collection of classic algorithm implementations in Python — sorting, searching, data structures and more. Meant for learning algorithms, not for production use.

- Magnitude: 2.3 out of 10 — Steady
- Stars: 226,098 total · +8 stars measured 2026-11-14, 00:06–11:16 UTC, ≈ 21 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic
- Category: Learning & lists · Language: Python · License: MIT · Created: 2016-07-16 · Last push: 2026-11-13

## Useful for

- Study a specific sorting or searching algorithm implementation in Python
- Prepare for interviews by reviewing algorithm and data structure examples
- Use the code as a reference when writing your own learning exercises

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-14 (UTC), 00:06–11:16: 226090 → 226098 stars (+8). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +21 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- About 12 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 51,326
- Issues and pull requests: 14,925
- Watchers: 5,931
- Average over the last week: 34 per day
- Usual pace: 41 per day
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 2

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
