A replacement for dict using hopscotch hashing
Project description
py-hopscotch-dict
py-hopscotch-dict is a package that contains a replacement for the standard Python dict
which implements the concepts of hopscotch hashing, as explained in the foundational paper.
Hopscotch hashing provides a number of benefits over the methods used in the standard dict
implementation, most notably that insertions, deletions and lookups have an expected O(1) runtime.
py-hopscotch-dict is implemented to replicate a Python 3.6-style dict
, and as such brings additional effects to Python 2.7 beyond those of hopscotch hashing.
py-hopscotch-dict has not been tested in a concurrent environment and thusly cannot be guaranteed to function correctly in conjunction with multi-threading, across multiple processes or in an asynchronous environment
Usage
>>> from py_hopscotch_dict import HopscotchDict
>>> d = HopscotchDict()
>>> d["test"] = True
>>> d
HopscotchDict({'test': True})
