Perhaps the online Python Cookbook is a good start.

Subject: Sorted List



I like the sets type in python 2.4 but it has one major limitation, it is an unordered collection.

 

I needed a container more like a list, but sorted so that searches are fast and ensure elements are in a specifc order. This is very useful for 'fuzzy logic' type searching. I could not find any container in Python that fits this criteria, nor could I find one in the vault so I created SortedList.

 

It's really very simple, just a wrapper around a list that keeps it sorted and uses the bisect module to implement search member functions.

 

If there is a demand for it, I will implement it in C later, as that would be a good learning exercise for me.

 

I'm just finalizing the test code now ( which is sadly much longer than the code itself ).

 

What should I do with it when I'm done? Is there a place for Pythoniers to share code?
