sortedmap 0.1.0

A sorted mapping object

A sorted mapping object.

sortedmap is a python dict api interface to the C++ std::map type. sortedmap implements the full dict object interface with a few differences:

1. Objects are stored in a red black tree. All keys must be comparable to eachother though they do not need to be hashable. This means all keys must implement at least __lt__ and __eq__.

2. O(log(n)) lookup, insert, and deletes because of the red- black tree backing. This is worse than dict which offers O(1) lookup, insert, and delete. The C++ implementation offers low constants

3. popitem accepts a first=True argument which says to pop from the front or the back. dict.popitem pops an abitrary item; however sortedmap pops the first or the last item.

Dependencies

sortedmap has no python package depencencies but requires CPython 2.7 or >=3.4. sortedmap depends on CPython 2 or 3 and some means of compiling C++14. We recommend using g++ to compile sortedmap. Compilation and testing was done with gcc 5.3.0
