Installation

intbitset is on PyPI

pip install intbitset

We provide pre-built wheels for the most common operating systems and common 64 bits CPU architectures. Otherwise, you will need a C compiler if you build from sources.

Documentation

The intbitset library provides a set implementation to store sorted unsigned integers either 32-bits integers (between 0 and 2**31 - 1 or intbitset.__maxelem__) or an infinite range with fast set operations implemented via bit vectors in a Python C extension for speed and reduced memory usage.

The inbitset class emulates the Python built-in set class interface with some additional specific methods such as its own fast dump and load marshalling functions.

>>> from intbitset import intbitset
>>> x = intbitset([1,2,3])
>>> y = intbitset([3,4,5])
>>> x & y
intbitset([3])
>>> x | y
intbitset([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])

Additionally, intbitset supports:

  • The pickle protocol,

  • The iterator protocol

  • intbitset can behave like a sequence that can be sliced.

  • Natural min and max. Because the integers are always stored sorted, the fist element of a non-empty set [0] is also the min() integer and the last element [-1] is also the max() integer in the set.

When compared to the standard library set class, intbitset set operations and the intersection, union and difference of intbitset``can be up to 5000 faster for dense integer sets than the standard library ``set.

Complete documentation is available at <http://intbitset.readthedocs.io> or can be built using Sphinx:

pip install sphinx
python setup.py build_sphinx

Testing

Running the tests are as simple as:

pip install -e .[tests]
pytest

Running the tests on multiple Python versions:

pip install tox
tox

Development

To regenerate the C code with Cython:

pip install cython
cython intbitset/intbitset.pyx

Then commit the regenrated C source and update the CHANGELOG.rst
