A Generalized Suffix Tree for any iterable, with Lowest Common Ancestor retrieval

Project description

A Generalized Suffix Tree for any Python iterable, with Lowest Common Ancestor retrieval.

pip install suffix-tree
from suffix_tree import Tree

>>> tree = Tree ({ 'A' : 'xabxac' })
>>> tree.find ('abx')
True
>>> tree.find ('abc')
False

This suffix tree:

  • works with any Python iterable, not just strings, if the items are hashable,

  • is a generalized suffix tree for sets of iterables,

  • uses Ukkonen’s algorithm to build the tree in linear time,

  • does constant-time Lowest Common Ancestor retrieval,

  • outputs the tree as GraphViz .dot file.

Three different builders have been implemented:

  • one that follows Ukkonen’s original paper ([Ukkonen1995]),

  • one that follows Gusfield’s variant ([Gusfield1997]),

  • and one simple naive algorithm.
