generalized-range

A flexible Python generator function that extends the capabilities of Python's built-in range to all types, using customizable comparator and successor functions.

Installation

pip install generalized-range

Usage

# coding=utf-8
from __future__ import print_function
from generalized_range import generalized_range

for number in generalized_range(
    start=10,
    stop=14,
    step=1,
    comparator=lambda x, y: x < y,
    successor=lambda x: x + 1
):
    print(number)  # Output: 10, 11, 12, 13

for char in generalized_range(
    start='A',
    stop='F',
    step=2,
    comparator=lambda x, y: ord(x) < ord(y),
    successor=lambda x: chr(ord(x) + 1)
):
    print(char)  # Output: A, C, E

for number in generalized_range(
    start=5,
    stop=1,
    step=1,
    comparator=lambda x, y: x > y,
    successor=lambda x: x - 1
):
    print(number)  # Output: 5, 4, 3, 2
