It's not written for performance (it actually - performs pretty bad) but to show how the API works. - - - Questions and Answers - ===================== - - Why would anyone need ordered dicts? - - Dicts in python are unordered which means that the order of items when - iterating over dicts is undefined. As a matter of fact it is most of - the time useless and differs from implementation to implementation. - - Many developers stumble upon that problem sooner or later when - comparing the output of doctests which often does not match the order - the developer thought it would. - - Also XML systems such as Genshi have their problems with unordered - dicts as the input and output ordering of tag attributes is often - mixed up because the ordering is lost when converting the data into - a dict. Switching to lists is often not possible because the - complexity of a lookup is too high. - - Another very common case is metaprogramming. The default namespace - of a class in python is a dict. With Python 3 it becomes possible - to replace it with a different object which could be an ordered dict. - Django is already doing something similar with a hack that assigns - numbers to some descriptors initialized in the class body of a - specific subclass to restore the ordering after class creation. - - When porting code from programming languages such as PHP and Ruby - where the item-order in a dict is guaranteed it's also a great help - to have an equivalent data structure in Python to ease the transition. - - Where are new keys added? - - At the end. This behavior is consistent with Ruby 1.9 Hashmaps - and PHP Arrays. It also matches what common ordered dict - implementations do currently. - - What happens if an existing key is reassigned? - - The key is *not* moved. This is consitent with existing - implementations and can be changed by a subclass very easily:: - - class movingodict(odict): - def __setitem__(self, key, value): - self.pop(key, None) - odict.__setitem__(self, key, value) - - Moving keys to the end of a ordered dict on reassignment is not - very useful for most applications. - - Does it mean the dict keys are sorted by a sort expression? - - That's not the case. The odict only guarantees that there is an order - and that newly inserted keys are inserted at the end of the dict. If - you want to sort it you can do so, but newly added keys are again added - at the end of the dict. - - I initializes the odict with a dict literal but the keys are not - ordered like they should! - - Dict literals in Python generate dict objects and as such the order of - their items is not guaranteed. Before they are passed to the odict - constructor they are already unordered. - - What happens if keys appear multiple times in the list passed to the - constructor? - - The same as for the dict. The latter item overrides the former. This - has the side-effect that the position of the first key is used because - the key is actually overwritten: - - >>> odict([('a', 1), ('b', 2), ('a', 3)]) - odict.odict([('a', 3), ('b', 2)]) - - This behavor is consistent with existing implementation in Python - and the PHP array and the hashmap in Ruby 1.9. - - This odict doesn't scale! - - Yes it doesn't. The delitem operation is O(n). This is file is a - mockup of a real odict that could be implemented for collections - based on an linked list. - - Why is there no .insert()? - - There are few situations where you really want to insert a key at - an specified index. To now make the API too complex the proposed - solution for this situation is creating a list of items, manipulating - that and converting it back into an odict: - - >>> d = odict([('a', 42), ('b', 23), ('c', 19)]) - >>> l = d.items() - >>> l.insert(1, ('x', 0)) - >>> odict(l) - odict.odict([('a', 42), ('x', 0), ('b', 23), ('c', 19)]) - - :copyright: (c) 2008 by Armin Ronacher and PEP 273 authors. - :license: modified BSD license. -""" -from itertools import izip, imap -from copy import deepcopy - -missing = object() - - -class odict(dict): - """ - Ordered dict example implementation. - - This is the proposed interface for a an ordered dict as proposed on the - Python mailinglist (proposal_). - - It's a dict subclass and provides some list functions. The implementation - of this class is inspired by the implementation of Babel but incorporates - some ideas from the `ordereddict`_ and Django's ordered dict. - - The constructor and `update()` both accept iterables of tuples as well as - mappings: - - >>> d = odict([('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd')]) - >>> d.update({'foo': 'bar'}) - >>> d - odict.odict([('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd'), ('foo', 'bar')]) - - Keep in mind that when updating from dict-literals the order is not - preserved as these dicts are unsorted! - - You can copy an odict like a dict by using the constructor, `copy.copy` - or the `copy` method and make deep copies with `copy.deepcopy`: - - >>> from copy import copy, deepcopy - >>> copy(d) - odict.odict([('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd'), ('foo', 'bar')]) - >>> d.copy() - odict.odict([('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd'), ('foo', 'bar')]) - >>> odict(d) - odict.odict([('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd'), ('foo', 'bar')]) - >>> d['spam'] = [] - >>> d2 = deepcopy(d) - >>> d2['spam'].append('eggs') - >>> d - odict.odict([('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd'), ('foo', 'bar'), ('spam', [])]) - >>> d2 - odict.odict([('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd'), ('foo', 'bar'), ('spam', ['eggs'])]) - - All iteration methods as well as `keys`, `values` and `items` return - the values ordered by the the time the key-value pair is inserted: - - >>> d.keys() - ['a', 'c', 'foo', 'spam'] - >>> d.values() - ['b', 'd', 'bar', []] - >>> d.items() - [('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd'), ('foo', 'bar'), ('spam', [])] - >>> list(d.iterkeys()) - ['a', 'c', 'foo', 'spam'] - >>> list(d.itervalues()) - ['b', 'd', 'bar', []] - >>> list(d.iteritems()) - [('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd'), ('foo', 'bar'), ('spam', [])] - - Index based lookup is supported too by `byindex` which returns the - key/value pair for an index: - - >>> d.byindex(2) - ('foo', 'bar') - - You can reverse the odict as well: - - >>> d.reverse() - >>> d - odict.odict([('spam', []), ('foo', 'bar'), ('c', 'd'), ('a', 'b')]) - - And sort it like a list: - - >>> d.sort(key=lambda x: x[0].lower()) - >>> d - odict.odict([('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd'), ('foo', 'bar'), ('spam', [])]) - - .. _proposal: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.devel/95316 - .. _ordereddict: http://www.xs4all.nl/~anthon/Python/ordereddict/ - """ - - def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): - dict.__init__(self) - self._keys = [] - self.update(*args, **kwargs) - - def __delitem__(self, key): - dict.__delitem__(self, key) - self._keys.remove(key) - - def __setitem__(self, key, item): - if key not in self: - self._keys.append(key) - dict.__setitem__(self, key, item) - - def __deepcopy__(self, memo=None): - if memo is None: - memo = {} - d = memo.get(id(self), missing) - if d is not missing: - return d - memo[id(self)] = d = self.__class__() - dict.__init__(d, deepcopy(self.items(), memo)) - d._keys = self._keys[:] - return d - - def __getstate__(self): - return {'items': dict(self), 'keys': self._keys} - - def __setstate__(self, d): - self._keys = d['keys'] - dict.update(d['items']) - - def __reversed__(self): - return reversed(self._keys) - - def __eq__(self, other): - if isinstance(other, odict): - if not dict.__eq__(self, other): - return False - return self.items() == other.items() - return dict.__eq__(self, other) - - def __ne__(self, other): - return not self.__eq__(other) - - def __cmp__(self, other): - if isinstance(other, odict): - return cmp(self.items(), other.items()) - elif isinstance(other, dict): - return dict.__cmp__(self, other) - return NotImplemented - - @classmethod - def fromkeys(cls, iterable, default=None): - return cls((key, default) for key in iterable) - - def clear(self): - del self._keys[:] - dict.clear(self) - - def copy(self): - return self.__class__(self) - - def items(self): - return zip(self._keys, self.values()) - - def iteritems(self): - return izip(self._keys, self.itervalues()) - - def keys(self): - return self._keys[:] - - def iterkeys(self): - return iter(self._keys) - - def pop(self, key, default=missing): - if default is missing: - return dict.pop(self, key) - elif key not in self: - return default - self._keys.remove(key) - return dict.pop(self, key, default) - - def popitem(self, key): - self._keys.remove(key) - return dict.popitem(key) - - def setdefault(self, key, default=None): - if key not in self: - self._keys.append(key) - dict.setdefault(self, key, default) - - def update(self, *args, **kwargs): - sources = [] - if len(args) == 1: - if hasattr(args[0], 'iteritems'): - sources.append(args[0].iteritems()) - else: - sources.append(iter(args[0])) - elif args: - raise TypeError('expected at most one positional argument') - if kwargs: - sources.append(kwargs.iteritems()) - for iterable in sources: - for key, val in iterable: - self[key] = val - - def values(self): - return map(self.get, self._keys) - - def itervalues(self): - return imap(self.get, self._keys) - - def index(self, item): - return self._keys.index(item) - - def byindex(self, item): - key = self._keys[item] - return (key, dict.__getitem__(self, key)) - - def reverse(self): - self._keys.reverse() - - def sort(self, *args, **kwargs): - self._keys.sort(*args, **kwargs) - - def __repr__(self): - return 'odict.odict(%r)' % self.items() - - __copy__ = copy - __iter__ = iterkeys - - -if __name__ == '__main__': - import doctest - doctest.testmod() |
