A disk backed dictionary implementation.
Project description
IODict
iodict is a thread safe dictionary implementation which uses a pure python
object store. The dictionary implementation follows the Dict
API, but stores
items using their birthtime allowing users to treat this datastore as a
file system backed OrderedDict
.
Items in the object store use file system attributes, when available to store key and birthtime information. File system attributes enhance the capability of the object store; however, they're not required. In the event xattrs are not available, file stat is used for file creation time along with base64 encoding for object keys.
Usage
import iodict
data = iodict.IODict(path='/tmp/iodict') # Could be any path on the file system
data["key"] = "value"
data
{'key': "value"}
dir(data)

When running in a multiprocessing / threading application, a lock is required to be passed into the iodict class.
import threading
import iodict
data = iodict.IODict(path='/tmp/iodict', lock=threading.Lock)
By default, if no lock is provided, a multiprocessing lock will be created.
The lock object allows the iodict
to respect the locking paradigm of the
executing application.
