cleverslice 1.0.0

Slice dictionaries just like tuples and lists

cleverslice

cleverslice is a Python library that enhances dictionary usage by introducing slicing capabilities similar to tuples and lists, without compromising the dictionary's inherent functionalities. This makes it easier to work with dictionary subsets, improving the flexibility and efficiency of dictionary operations in Python applications.

Features

• Slicing: Perform slicing operations on dictionaries similar to tuples and lists.
• Compatibility: Fully compatible with standard dictionary operations.
• Ease of Use: Intuitive syntax that fits seamlessly into existing Python codebases.

Installation

To install cleverslice, simply use pip:

pip install cleverslice

Usage

Here is a quick example to get you started with cleverslice:

from cleverslice import sdict

my_dict = sdict({'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3, 'd': 4, 'e': 5})

# First 3 items as a dict
f3d = my_dict[:3]

# Last 2 items as a dict
l2d = my_dict[-2:]

# Middle items as a dict, from index 1 to 3
md = my_dict[1:3]

# Every other item as a dict
e2d = my_dict[::2]

# 4th item's value
v4 = my_dict[3]

# 4th item as a dict
d4 = my_dict[3:4]

In this example, we first create a cleverslice object from a standard dictionary. We then perform a slicing operation to obtain a subset of the dictionary. The cleverslice object still supports all standard dictionary operations.
