def bisect.bisect_left	(		a,
			x,
			lo = 0,
			hi = None
	)

Return the index where to insert item x in list a, assuming a is sorted.

The return value i is such that all e in a[:i] have e < x, and all e in
a[i:] have e >= x.  So if x already appears in the list, i points just
before the leftmost x already there.

Optional args lo (default 0) and hi (default len(a)) bound the
slice of a to be searched.
