Binary Tree Package
Bintrees Development Stopped
Use sortedcontainers
instead: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sortedcontainers
see also PyCon 2016 presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z2Ki44Vs4E
Advantages:
- pure Python no Cython/C dependencies
- faster
- active development
- more & better testing/profiling
Abstract
This package provides Binary- RedBlack- and AVL-Trees written in Python and Cython/C.
This Classes are much slower than the built-in dict class, but all
iterators/generators yielding data in sorted key order. Trees can be
uses as drop in replacement for dicts in most cases.
Source of Algorithms
AVL- and RBTree algorithms taken from Julienne Walker: http://eternallyconfuzzled.com/jsw_home.aspx
Trees written in Python
- *BinaryTree* -- unbalanced binary tree
- *AVLTree* -- balanced AVL-Tree
- *RBTree* -- balanced Red-Black-Tree
Trees written with C-Functions and Cython as wrapper
- *FastBinaryTree* -- unbalanced binary tree
- *FastAVLTree* -- balanced AVL-Tree
- *FastRBTree* -- balanced Red-Black-Tree
All trees provides the same API, the pickle protocol is supported.
Cython-Trees have C-structs as tree-nodes and C-functions for low level operations:
- insert
- remove
- get_value
- min_item
- max_item
- prev_item
- succ_item
- floor_item
- ceiling_item
Constructor
* Tree() -> new empty tree;
* Tree(mapping) -> new tree initialized from a mapping (requires only an items() method)
* Tree(seq) -> new tree initialized from seq [(k1, v1), (k2, v2), ... (kn, vn)]
Methods
~~~~~~~
* __contains__(k) -> True if T has a key k, else False, O(log(n))
* __delitem__(y) <==> del T[y], del[s:e], O(log(n))
* __getitem__(y) <==> T[y], T[s:e], O(log(n))
* __iter__() <==> iter(T)
* __len__() <==> len(T), O(1)
* __max__() <==> max(T), get max item (k,v) of T, O(log(n))
* __min__() <==> min(T), get min item (k,v) of T, O(log(n))
* __and__(other) <==> T & other, intersection
* __or__(other) <==> T | other, union
* __sub__(other) <==> T - other, difference
* __xor__(other) <==> T ^ other, symmetric_difference
* __repr__() <==> repr(T)
* __setitem__(k, v) <==> T[k] = v, O(log(n))
* __copy__() -> shallow copy support, copy.copy(T)
* __deepcopy__() -> deep copy support, copy.deepcopy(T)
* clear() -> None, remove all items from T, O(n)
* copy() -> a shallow copy of T, O(n*log(n))
* discard(k) -> None, remove k from T, if k is present, O(log(n))
* get(k[,d]) -> T[k] if k in T, else d, O(log(n))
* is_empty() -> True if len(T) == 0, O(1)
* items([reverse]) -> generator for (k, v) items of T, O(n)
* keys([reverse]) -> generator for keys of T, O(n)
* values([reverse]) -> generator for values of T, O(n)
* pop(k[,d]) -> v, remove specified key and return the corresponding value, O(log(n))
* pop_item() -> (k, v), remove and return some (key, value) pair as a 2-tuple, O(log(n)) (synonym popitem() exist)
* set_default(k[,d]) -> value, T.get(k, d), also set T[k]=d if k not in T, O(log(n)) (synonym setdefault() exist)
* update(E) -> None. Update T from dict/iterable E, O(E*log(n))
* foreach(f, [order]) -> visit all nodes of tree (0 = 'inorder', -1 = 'preorder' or +1 = 'postorder') and call f(k, v) for each node, O(n)
* iter_items(s, e[, reverse]) -> generator for (k, v) items of T for s <= key < e, O(n)
* remove_items(keys) -> None, remove items by keys, O(n)
slicing by keys
* item_slice(s, e[, reverse]) -> generator for (k, v) items of T for s <= key < e, O(n), synonym for iter_items(...)
* key_slice(s, e[, reverse]) -> generator for keys of T for s <= key < e, O(n)
* value_slice(s, e[, reverse]) -> generator for values of T for s <= key < e, O(n)
* T[s:e] -> TreeSlice object, with keys in range s <= key < e, O(n)
* del T[s:e] -> remove items by key slicing, for s <= key < e, O(n)
start/end parameter:
* if 's' is None or T[:e] TreeSlice/iterator starts with value of min_key();
* if 'e' is None or T[s:] TreeSlice/iterator ends with value of max_key();
* T[:] is a TreeSlice which represents the whole tree;
The step argument of the regular slicing syntax T[s:e:step] will silently ignored.
TreeSlice is a tree wrapper with range check and contains no references
to objects, deleting objects in the associated tree also deletes the object
in the TreeSlice.
* TreeSlice[k] -> get value for key k, raises KeyError if k not exists in range s:e
* TreeSlice[s1:e1] -> TreeSlice object, with keys in range s1 <= key < e1
- new lower bound is max(s, s1)
- new upper bound is min(e, e1)
TreeSlice methods:
* items() -> generator for (k, v) items of T, O(n)
* keys() -> generator for keys of T, O(n)
* values() -> generator for values of T, O(n)
* __iter__ <==> keys()
* __repr__ <==> repr(T)
* __contains__(key)-> True if TreeSlice has a key k, else False, O(log(n))
prev/succ operations
* prev_item(key) -> get (k, v) pair, where k is predecessor to key, O(log(n))
* prev_key(key) -> k, get the predecessor of key, O(log(n))
* succ_item(key) -> get (k,v) pair as a 2-tuple, where k is successor to key, O(log(n))
* succ_key(key) -> k, get the successor of key, O(log(n))
* floor_item(key) -> get (k, v) pair, where k is the greatest key less than or equal to key, O(log(n))
* floor_key(key) -> k, get the greatest key less than or equal to key, O(log(n))
* ceiling_item(key) -> get (k, v) pair, where k is the smallest key greater than or equal to key, O(log(n))
* ceiling_key(key) -> k, get the smallest key greater than or equal to key, O(log(n))
Heap methods
~~~~~~~~~~~~
* max_item() -> get largest (key, value) pair of T, O(log(n))
* max_key() -> get largest key of T, O(log(n))
* min_item() -> get smallest (key, value) pair of T, O(log(n))
* min_key() -> get smallest key of T, O(log(n))
* pop_min() -> (k, v), remove item with minimum key, O(log(n))
* pop_max() -> (k, v), remove item with maximum key, O(log(n))
* nlargest(i[,pop]) -> get list of i largest items (k, v), O(i*log(n))
* nsmallest(i[,pop]) -> get list of i smallest items (k, v), O(i*log(n))
Set methods (using frozenset)
* intersection(t1, t2, ...) -> Tree with keys *common* to all trees
* union(t1, t2, ...) -> Tree with keys from *either* trees
* difference(t1, t2, ...) -> Tree with keys in T but not any of t1, t2, ...
* symmetric_difference(t1) -> Tree with keys in either T and t1 but not both
* is_subset(S) -> True if every element in T is in S (synonym issubset() exist)
* is_superset(S) -> True if every element in S is in T (synonym issuperset() exist)
* is_disjoint(S) -> True if T has a null intersection with S (synonym isdisjoint() exist)
Classmethods
* from_keys(S[,v]) -> New tree with keys from S and values equal to v. (synonym fromkeys() exist)
Helper functions
* bintrees.has_fast_tree_support() -> True if Cython extension is working else False (False = using pure Python implementation)
Installation
from source::
python setup.py install
or from PyPI::
pip install bintrees
Compiling the fast Trees requires Cython and on Windows is a C-Compiler necessary.
