Pysistence is a project that seeks to bring functional data structures to Python. It is currently very much under development, but keep checking back!
Why the name pysistence?
The project is named pysistence because most of the data structures it implements are persistent. This doesn’t mean persistent in the sense that they are stored in a database or the file system. Rather, it means the data structures may only be modified by copying. Where possible, these data structures will re-use existing implementations without copying everything.
Where can I learn more about persistent data structures?
Here are some resouces:
Or if you’re really brave:
You may download the current release of Pysistence from our PyPI page. You may also use easy_install to install pysistence:
sudo easy_install pysistence
If you have Mercurial installed, you can use the following command to check out Pysistence:
hg clone http://bitbucket.org/jasbaker/pysistence/
If you check out pysistence from source, you will need paver to install pysistence. If you have setuptools, you may install it using easy_install:
sudo easy_install Paver
Once you have paver installed, you should use the following commands:
cd $DIR_YOU_PUT_PYSISTENCE_IN
sudo paver install
If you’re running windows, then you should omit “sudo” in each of the above commands.
