unicodeset 0.1.0

set superclass for unicode character sets

unicodeset is a small module for managing sets of unique unicode code points.

The classes UnicodeSet and FrozenUnicodeSet as superclasses of the respective Python builtins.

from unicodeset import UnicodeSet, FrozenUnicodeSet

Values can be passed in as either integers or strings (or unicode strings in Python 2.7).

>>> s = UnicodeSet(['a', 98, u'c'])
UnicodeSet([u'a', u'b', u'c'])

Inclusion can be checked using either an integer or string representations.

>>> s = UnicodeSet([u'a', u'b', u'c'])
>>> 98 in s
True
>>> 'b' in s
True

Iterating over UnicodeSet returns values sorted by code point.

>>> [c for c in UnicodeSet(['z', 'n', '$', 'a'])]
[u'$', u'a', u'n', u'z']

Supports Python 2.6 – 3.x
