slicemap 1.1.2

A tiny package containing a dict-like data structure with numeric slices as keys.

Python Slice Map

Slicemap is a MIT licensed library introducing a useful, dictionary-like data structure, similar to normal Python dict, but instead of setting values key by key, you set entire slices.

Features:

• Implemented entirely in Python
• Has only one dependency: sortedcontainers
• Is efficient, it has O(log(n)) time complexity for insertion and query
  • Adding new slices might make old ones become redundant
  • n correspondes to the maximal number of slices present in SliceMap at a time
• Makes life easier, see applications

Example

from slicemap import SliceMap
sm = SliceMap()
sm[-3:3] = 0.1
sm[6.5:] = "Hello, SliceMap"
print(sm[0])
print(sm[10])

0.1
'Hello, SliceMap'

See more examples in Quick Start.
