reading, writing and sorting large files
Project description
streamio is a simple library of functions designed to read, write and sort large files using iterators so that the operations will successfully complete on systems with limited RAM. This library has been used extensively at Griffith University whilst developing the TerraNova Climate Change and Adaptation Visualization tool(s) and processing large volumes of data. streamio is written in Python and has extensive documentation and unit tests with 100% coverage.
streamio currently has the following functionality available:
stream - read large files as an iterative stream.
jsonstream - read large files as a json stream where each line in the file is valid json.
csvstream - read large csv files as a stream interpreteing as csv.
csvdictstream - read large csv files as a stream interpreteing as csv and yielding dicts.
merge - take a list of ordered iterables and return a single ordered generator (similar to heapq.merge but with key support)
mergesort - given a large unsorted input file, split into chunks, sort and merge sort the result into an output file.
minmax - compute the min and max of a given iterable all at once
