py-doubly-linked-list 0.1.2

A library adding doubly linked lists to python.

py-doubly-linked-list

Description

This library provides an implementation of a doubly linked list for python written with the c api. It is meant to be as close as possible to a regular list in its interface, meaning you can interact with it in almost all of the same ways you interact with a regular python list.

Methods

• append
  Append object to the end of the list. Set forward to false to append to the start.

doubly_linked_list.append(object: Any, forward: bool = True)

• clear
  Remove all items from the list.

doubly_linked_list.clear()

• copy
  Return a shallow copy of the list.

doubly_linked_list.copy()

• count
  Return number of occurrences of value in the list.

doubly_linked_list.count(value: Any)

• extend
  Extend list by appending elements from the iterable. Set forward to false to extend from the start.

doubly_linked_list.extend(iterable: Iterable, forward: bool = True)

• index
  Return first index of value. Raises ValueError if the value is not present.

doubly_linked_list.index(value: Any, start: int, stop: int)

• insert
  Insert object after index. Set forward to false to insert before index.

doubly_linked_list.insert(object: Any, index: int, forward: bool = True)

• pop
  Remove and return item at index (default last). Raises IndexError if list is empty or index is out of range.

doubly_linked_list.pop(index: int = -1)

• remove
  Remove first occurence of value. Raises ValueError if the value is not present.

doubly_linked_list.remove(value: Any)

• reverse
  Reverse the order of the list.

doubly_linked_list.reverse()

• sort
  In-place sort in ascending order, equal objects are not swapped. Key can be applied to values and the list will be sorted based on the result of applying the key. Reverse will reverse the sort order.

doubly_linked_list.sort(key: Callable = None, reverse: bool = False)

The DoublyLinkedList also supports:

• concatenation with other iterables
• in-place concatenation with other iterables
• indexing and assignment by index
• slicing
• iterating

Things that are not currently supported but might be in the future:

• assigning slices
• repeating, i.e list = [1] * 5 create a list with 1 repeated 5 times
