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:

When compared to the standard library set class, intbitset set operations and the intersection, union and difference of intbitsetcan 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
