DAWG-Patched 0.9.1

Fast and memory efficient DAWG (DAFSA) for Python

DAWG-patched

DAWG library patched so that it will install on newer versions of Python.

This package provides DAWG(DAFSA)-based dictionary-like read-only objects for Python (2.x and 3.x).

String data in a DAWG may take 200x less memory than in a standard Python dict and the raw lookup speed is comparable; it also provides fast advanced methods like prefix search.

0.7.8 (2015-04-18)

• extra type annotations are added to make the code a bit faster;

• mercurial mirror at bitbucket is dropped;

• wrapper is rebuilt with Cython 0.22.

0.7.7 (2014-11-19)

• DAWG.b_prefixes method for avoiding utf8 encoding/decoding (thanks Ikuya Yamada);

• wrapper is rebuilt with Cython 0.21.1.

0.7.6 (2014-08-10)

• Wrapper is rebuilt with Cython 0.20.2 to fix some issues.

0.7.5 (2014-06-05)

• Switched to setuptools;

• some wheels are uploaded to pypi.

0.7.4 (2014-05-29)

• Fixed a bug in DAWG building: input should be sorted according to its binary representation.

0.7.3 (2014-05-29)

• Wrapper is rebuilt with Cython 0.21dev;

• Python 3.4 compatibility is verified.

0.7.2 (2013-10-03)

• has_keys_with_prefix(prefix) method (thanks Matt Hickford)

0.7.1 (2013-05-25)

• Extension is rebuilt with Cython 0.19.1;

• fixed segfault that happened on lookup from incorrectly loaded DAWG (thanks Alex Moiseenko).

0.7 (2013-04-05)

• IntCompletionDAWG

0.6.1 (2013-03-23)

• Installation issues in environments with LC_ALL=C are fixed;

• PyPy is officially unsupported now (use DAWG-Python with PyPy).

0.6 (2013-03-22)

• many thread-safety bugs are fixed (at the cost of slowing library down).

0.5.5 (2013-02-19)

• fix installation under PyPy (note: DAWG is slow under PyPy and may have bugs).

0.5.4 (2013-02-14)

• small tweaks for docstrings;

• the extension is rebuilt using Cython 0.18.

0.5.3 (2013-01-03)

• small improvements to .compile_replaces method;

• benchmarks for .similar_items method;

• the extension is rebuilt with Cython pre-0.18; this made .prefixes and .iterprefixes methods faster (up to 6x in some cases).

0.5.2 (2013-01-02)

• tests are included in source distribution;

• benchmark results in README was nonrepresentative because of my broken (slow) Python 3.2 install;

• installation is fixed under Python 3.x with LC_ALL=C (thanks Jakub Wilk).

0.5.1 (2012-10-11)

• better error reporting while building DAWGs;

• __contains__ is fixed for keys with zero bytes;

• dawg.Error exception class;

• building of BytesDAWG and RecordDAWG fails instead of producing incorrect results if some of the keys has unsupported characters.

0.5 (2012-10-08)

The storage scheme of BytesDAWG and RecordDAWG is changed in this release in order to provide the alphabetical ordering of items.

This is a backwards-incompatible release. In order to read BytesDAWG or RecordDAWG created with previous versions of DAWG use payload_separator constructor argument:

>>> BytesDAWG(payload_separator=b'\xff').load('old.dawg')

0.4.1 (2012-10-01)

• Segfaults with empty DAWGs are fixed by updating dawgdic to latest svn.

0.4 (2012-09-26)

• iterkeys, iteritems and iterprefixes methods (thanks Dan Blanchard).

0.3.2 (2012-09-24)

• prefixes method for finding all prefixes of a given key.

0.3.1 (2012-09-20)

• bundled dawgdic C++ library is updated to the latest version.

0.3 (2012-09-13)

• similar_keys, similar_items and similar_item_values methods for more permissive lookups (they may be useful e.g. for umlaut handling);

• load method returns self;

• Python 3.3 support.

0.2 (2012-09-08)

Greatly improved memory usage for DAWGs loaded with load method.

There is currently a bug somewhere in a wrapper so DAWGs loaded with read() method or unpickled DAWGs uses 3x-4x memory compared to DAWGs loaded with load() method. load() is fixed in this release but other methods are not.

0.1 (2012-09-08)

Initial release.
