Collection of persistent (disk-based) and non-persistent (memory-based) queues
Project description
Queuelib is a Python library that implements object collections which are stored in memory or persisted to disk, provide a simple API, and run fast.
Queuelib provides collections for queues (FIFO), stacks (LIFO), queues sorted by priority and queues that are emptied in a round-robin fashion.
Queuelib supports Python 3.5+ and has no dependencies.
Installation
You can install Queuelib either via the Python Package Index (PyPI) or from source.
To install using pip:
$ pip install queuelib
To install using easy_install:
$ easy_install queuelib
If you have downloaded a source tarball you can install it by running the following (as root):
# python setup.py install
FIFO/LIFO disk queues
Queuelib provides FIFO and LIFO queue implementations.
Here is an example usage of the FIFO queue:
>>> from queuelib import FifoDiskQueue >>> q = FifoDiskQueue("queuefile") >>> q.push(b'a') >>> q.push(b'b') >>> q.push(b'c') >>> q.pop() b'a' >>> q.close() >>> q = FifoDiskQueue("queuefile") >>> q.pop() b'b' >>> q.pop() b'c' >>> q.pop() >>>
The LIFO queue is identical (API-wise), but importing LifoDiskQueue instead.
PriorityQueue
A discrete-priority queue implemented by combining multiple FIFO/LIFO queues (one per priority).
First, select the type of queue to be used per priority (FIFO or LIFO):
>>> from queuelib import FifoDiskQueue >>> qfactory = lambda priority: FifoDiskQueue('queue-dir-%s' % priority)
Then instantiate the Priority Queue with it:
>>> from queuelib import PriorityQueue >>> pq = PriorityQueue(qfactory)
And use it:
>>> pq.push(b'a', 3) >>> pq.push(b'b', 1) >>> pq.push(b'c', 2) >>> pq.push(b'd', 2) >>> pq.pop() b'b' >>> pq.pop() b'c' >>> pq.pop() b'd' >>> pq.pop() b'a'
RoundRobinQueue
Has nearly the same interface and implementation as a Priority Queue except that each element must be pushed with a (mandatory) key. Popping from the queue cycles through the keys “round robin”.
Instantiate the Round Robin Queue similarly to the Priority Queue:
>>> from queuelib import RoundRobinQueue >>> rr = RoundRobinQueue(qfactory)
And use it:
>>> rr.push(b'a', '1') >>> rr.push(b'b', '1') >>> rr.push(b'c', '2') >>> rr.push(b'd', '2') >>> rr.pop() b'a' >>> rr.pop() b'c' >>> rr.pop() b'b' >>> rr.pop() b'd'
