sortcraft 0.1.6

A collection of classic and practical sorting algorithms

SortCraft is a comprehensive Python package providing an extensive collection of sorting algorithms suitable for educational, research, and benchmarking purposes. All implementations are type-annotated, documented for clarity, and exposed through a clean flat API for easy import and exploration.

Features

• More than twenty sorting algorithms, including classical, integer/distribution, advanced, parallel, and theoretical types.
• All functions have PEP 484 type annotations and rich, standardized docstrings suitable for IDE/hover documentation and Sphinx autodoc.
• Simple import model: from sortcraft import merge_sort, quick_sort, cycle_sort, ....
• Designed for reliability, readability, and educational use cases as well as algorithmic experimentation.

Installation

Install the latest release from PyPI:

pip install sortcraft

Quick Usage

from sortcraft import merge_sort, heap_sort
data = [5, 2, 9, 1]
sorted_data = merge_sort(data)  # [1, 2, 5, 9]

Included Algorithms

• Classical comparison sorts: bubble_sort, selection_sort, insertion_sort, merge_sort, quick_sort, heap_sort
• Counting/distribution sorts: counting_sort, radix_sort, pigeonhole_sort, flash_sort, bucket_sort
• Advanced or hybrid: shell_sort, comb_sort, cocktail_sort, timsort, bitonic_sort, cycle_sort
• Educational or theoretical: pancake_sort, gnome_sort, stooge_sort, bogo_sort, odd_even_sort

All functions require a sequence of comparable elements and return a new sorted list.

Type Annotations and Docstring Standards

• All user-facing APIs are type-annotated (PEP 484/561 compliant via the included py.typed marker).
• Docstrings follow the Google style, suitable for Sphinx autodoc and IDE hover documentation.
• Each algorithm documents its stability, complexity, and typical usage.

Version Logs:

• 0.1.4: Modified logo for the package
• 0.1.5: Added badges in README.md
