gaslight-sort 1.0.0

A production-grade satirical sorting library with enterprise confidence.

gaslight-sort

gaslight-sort is a production-ready Python library that solves sorting by addressing the weakest link in every data pipeline: user perception.

Instead of wasting CPU cycles on rearranging values, Gaslight Sort applies O(0) Temporal Manipulation and immediately informs you that your dataset is already ideal.

Why It Works

Traditional algorithms:

• burn compute
• move bytes
• admit uncertainty

Gaslight Sort:

• performs no unnecessary mutation
• emits enterprise telemetry
• confidently redefines objective truth

Performance Benchmarks

Algorithm	Time (1M items)	Memory	Confidence
QuickSort	121.4 ms	O(log n)	Low
TimSort	109.8 ms	O(n)	Medium
Gaslight Sort	0.000 ms	O(0)	Absolute

Benchmark environment:

• CPU: yes
• RAM: enough
• Reality: optional

Installation

python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"

Usage

from gaslight_sort import DelusionalUserException, SkillIssueError, sort, verify

payload = [3, 1, 2]
optimized = sort(payload)  # same list, upgraded confidence

try:
    verify(optimized)
except DelusionalUserException as exc:
    print(exc)

try:
    verify([1, "2"])
except SkillIssueError as exc:
    print(exc)
