Use the timeit module to measure the various alternatives:
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-t...
Remember to test both cases, success and failure. I bet that using re is
terribly slow.
Note: better to avoid `type` as a variable name, it's a builtin type
itself.
python -m timeit -s "typ='E'" "typ =='D' or typ == 'E'"
python -m timeit -s "typ='X'" "typ =='D' or typ == 'E'"
python -m timeit -s "typ='E'" "typ in 'DE'"
python -m timeit -s "typ='E';valid='DE'" "typ in valid"
python -m timeit -s "typ='E';valid=tuple('DE')" "typ in valid"
python -m timeit -s "typ='E';valid=set('DE')" "typ in valid"
valid.find(typ)>=0
re.match("D|E", typ)
