Cython implementation of Toolz: High performance functional utilities
|Build Status| |Version Status|
Cython implementation of the
|literal toolz|_ package, <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/toolz/>
__ which
provides high performance utility functions for iterables, functions,
and dictionaries.

toolz
is a pure Python package that borrows heavily from contemporary
functional languanges. It is designed to interoperate seamlessly with other
libraries including itertools
, functools
, and third party libraries.
High performance functional data analysis is possible with builtin types
like list
and dict
, and user-defined data structures; and low memory
usage is achieved by using the iterator protocol and returning iterators
whenever possible.
cytoolz
implements the same API as toolz
. The main differences are
that cytoolz
is faster (typically 2-5x faster with a few spectacular
exceptions) and cytoolz
offers a C API that is accessible to other
projects developed in Cython. Since toolz
is able to process very
large (potentially infinite) data sets, the performance increase gained by
using cytoolz
can be significant.

cytoolz
is on the Python Package Index (PyPI):
::
pip install cytoolz
cytoolz
supports Python 3.6+ with a common codebase.
It is developed in Cython, but requires no dependecies other than CPython
and a C compiler. Like toolz
, it is a light weight dependency.
toolz
(and cytoolz
) aims to be a repository for utility functions,
particularly those that come from the functional programming and list
processing traditions. We welcome contributions that fall within this scope
and encourage users to scrape their util.py
files for functions that are
broadly useful.
