<pre class='brush: python'>half_length = len(data) // 2 </pre> I don't think this line makes your code much faster or more clear

It's probably nicer to do data = list(sorted(data)) to avoid mutating the supplied list. Unexpected side-effects are nasty.

In that case youl'd only need `data = sorted(data)` as `sorted()` returns a <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html?highlight=sorted#sorted">list</a>.

List but not the least
