boduch 0.1.1

The 0.1.1 version of the boduch Python library is now available. Some changes include:
  • New Set and Hash functionality. Both object types now support the Python key/index notation.
  • More unit tests.
Here is an example that demonstrates the new Set and Hash functionality.
#Example; boduch data types.

from boduch.data import Set, Hash
from boduch.event import threaded

def test_set_data():
set_obj=Set()
set_obj.push("test1")
set_obj.push("test2")
print "SET:",set_obj[0]
print "SET:",set_obj[1]
set_obj[0]="updated test1"
set_obj[1]="updated test2"
print "SET:",set_obj[0]
print "SET:",set_obj[1]
del set_obj[0]
del set_obj[0]

def test_hash_data():
hash_obj=Hash()
hash_obj.push(("test1", "value1"))
hash_obj.push(("test2", "value1"))
print "HASH:",hash_obj["test1"]
print "HASH:",hash_obj["test2"]
hash_obj["test1"]="updated value1"
hash_obj["test2"]="updated value2"
print "HASH:",hash_obj["test1"]
print "HASH:",hash_obj["test2"]
del hash_obj["test1"]
del hash_obj["test2"]

if __name__=="__main__":
test_set_data()
test_hash_data()
threaded(True)
test_set_data()
test_hash_data()
As you can see, we can now treat Set and Hash instances as though they were Python list and dictionary instances respectively. The main difference being of course, all actions are carried out by event handlers. This enables threaded behaviour for some of the actions. For example, pushing new items and updating existing items will be handled in separate threads if threading is enabled.
