After trying many implementations of Suffix Tree and Suffix Array in Python, the fastest I managed to get was based on adamant Ukkonen version: https://codeforces.net/blog/entry/16780

Here is my Python version enhanced with memoization (I tested it with UVA 10679 — I Love Strings!!), happy to receive feedback on how to improve the algorithm:

from functools import lru_cache
setrecursionlimit(100000)

    return sz-1

    global s, n, sz, to, link, fpos, slen, pos, node
