scapegoat_mod 1.0

A pure python scapegoat splay tree class is provided. It is thoroughly unit tested, passes pylint, and is known to run on CPython 2.x, CPython 3.x, Pypy 2.2 and Jython 2.7b2.

This scapegoat tree looks like a dictionary that’s always sorted by key. It also reorganizes itself on every put.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about a scapegoat tree, is it is balanced even for ordered keys, without any storage overhead (unlike treaps and red-black trees).
