🔁 Similar String Grouper

A minimal Python tool to group similar strings based on circular rotations. It identifies words that are rotations of each other and groups them into distinct sets.

✅ What it does

Given a list of strings, it groups words that are circularly similar.

For example, "abcd" and "cdab" are grouped together because one can be rotated into the other.

Input

["abcd", "cdab", "dabc", "bcda", "efgh", "ghfe"]

Output

{
  "abcd": ["abcd", "cdab", "dabc", "bcda"],
  "efgh": ["efgh"],
  "ghfe": ["ghfe"]
}

⚙️ How it works

  • Similarity Rule: Two words are similar if a rotation of one equals the other.

  • Efficiency: The similarity check (is_similar) is optimized from O(n) to O(1).

  • Grouping: Uses a visited set to avoid duplicate processing.

  • Non-destructive: Does not mutate the input.

🚀 Installation

pip install rotate-group-words==0.3.0

📦 Usage

In Code:

from rotate-group-words import rotate_group_words

input = ["abcd", "cdab", "dabc", "bcda", "efgh", "ghfe"]
output = rotate_group_words(input)
print(output)

As standalone cli application

rgw -h
rgw -w abcd,cdab,dabc,bcda,efgh,ghfe
