MultiMap

Python dictionary-like container with support for duplicate keys and optional key sorting.

Installation

pip install pymultimap

Usage

from pymultimap import MultiMap

mm = MultiMap()
mm["a"] = 1
mm["a"] = 2
mm["b"] = 3

print(mm)

Output:

{a: [1, 2], b: [3]}

from pymultimap import MultiMap

sorted_multimap = MultiMap(sorted=True, reverse=True)
sorted_multimap["a"] = 1
sorted_multimap["c"] = 3
sorted_multimap["b"] = 2

print(sorted_multimap)

Output:

{c: [3], b: [2], a: [1]}

mm[key] always returns the list of values associated with that key. When sorted=True, keys are ordered by key value, and reverse=True is available only with sorted maps.
