pyintervals 0.0.1

Efficient interval operations.

Execute efficient interval operations in Python.

(Currently in active development. Leave a ⭐️ on GitHub if you’re interested how this develops!)

Why?

Inspired by a discussion and initial implementation in a professional project and a library I’ve been using in one of my previous jobs, pyintervals is born.

Intervals pop-up frequently in programming, specifically in domains where you have an activity or a proxy for it. Suppose you are implementing a single machine scheduling algorithm. In order to schedule an operation, you need to makes sure that the machine is available during your desired time of operation. Or you are implementing a booking system and need to check that the hotel has at least 1 room with desired number of beds for the dates selected. For such cases, you need to control some information overlapping with an interval.
