I read the book much better than Rodrigo's Python code. The book writes about "max-heaps." Rodrigo tries to rewrite is to apply it on an array, uses confusing names where simple one letter names suffice, rewrites tail recursion which is anyway obvious that it can be substituted with a while loop, producing, at least for me, much less readable code. By the way, even in the production code I do use one letter names for local variables in the functions that span a few lines and where their use is obvious.
