A fast CFFI-based SkipDict implementation.

Project description

A fast, CFFI-based SkipDict implementation for Python.

SkipDict instances are Skip List-based associative arrays (‘dictionaries’ in Python terms), mapping 64-bit signed integers to arbitrary Python objects. Keys are always stored and returned in order, while maintaining average-case O(log n) search, insert and delete times, and average-case space consumption of O(n).

This libary uses Peter Cannici’s public-domain skiplist.h C library, adapting it slightly for use with Python and CFFI.

Installation

Installation on most systems should be pretty easy:

$ pip install cskipdict

Usage

You can use it just like a normal dict, except that all keys should be integers between -2:sup:63 and +263 - 1 inclusive.

>>> from cskipdict import SkipDict
>>> d = SkipDict()
>>> d
SkipDict({})
>>> len(d)
0
>>> d[123] = 'abc'
>>> d
SkipDict({123: 'abc'})
>>> d[420] = 'def'
>>> d
SkipDict({123: 'abc', 420: 'def'})
>>> d[69] = 'foo'
>>> d
SkipDict({69: 'foo', 123: 'abc', 420: 'def'})

Iteration will always happen in ascending order of the keys:

>>> for k, v in d.iteritems():
...     print((k, v))
(69, 'foo')
(123, 'abc')
(420, 'def')
