Fastest sorting algorithm for integers - radixsort

A programmer has often the problem of fast sorting. Which algorithm he/she should take for that type of data. I will show you simply the fastest algorithm but only for sorting integers. I'm talking about the radixsort. But sth like the fastest algorithm doesn't exist for sorting. Because it's always a question of the data type and pattern wich you wan't to sort. 

The code is written in python, because nearly every programmer understands it ^^ 

def radixsort( aList ):

  RADIX = 10

  maxLength = False

  tmp , placement = -1, 1

  while not maxLength:

    maxLength = True

    # declare and initialize buckets

    buckets = [list() for _ in range( RADIX )]

    # split aList between lists

    for  i in aList:

      tmp = i / placement

      buckets[tmp % RADIX].append( i )

      if maxLength and tmp > 0:

        maxLength = False

    # empty lists into aList array

    a = 0

    for b in range( RADIX ):

      buck = buckets[b]

      for i in buck:

        aList[a] = i

        a += 1

    # move to next digit

    placement *= RADIX
