Description:

pyprobables 0.6.0

pyprobables is a pure-python library for probabilistic data structures.
The goal is to provide the developer with a pure-python implementation of
common probabilistic data-structures to use in their work.
To achieve better raw performance, it is recommended supplying an alternative
hashing algorithm that has been compiled in C. This could include using the
md5 and sha512 algorithms provided or installing a third party package and
writing your own hashing strategy. Some options include the murmur hash
mmh3 or those from the
pyhash library. Each data object in
pyprobables makes it easy to pass in a custom hashing function.
Read more about how to use Supplying a pre-defined, alternative hashing strategies
or Defining hashing function using the provided decorators.

Installation
Pip Installation:
$ pip install pyprobables
To install from source:
To install pyprobables, simply clone the repository on GitHub, then run from the folder:
$ python setup.py install
pyprobables supports python 3.6 - 3.11+
For python 2.7 support, install release 0.3.2
$ pip install pyprobables==0.3.2

API Documentation

Automated Tests
To run automated tests, one must simply run the following command from the
downloaded folder:
$ python setup.py test

Quickstart

Import pyprobables and setup a Bloom Filter
from probables import BloomFilter
blm = BloomFilter(est_elements=1000, false_positive_rate=0.05)
blm.add('google.com')
blm.check('facebook.com') # should return False
blm.check('google.com') # should return True

Import pyprobables and setup a Count-Min Sketch
from probables import CountMinSketch
cms = CountMinSketch(width=1000, depth=5)
cms.add('google.com') # should return 1
cms.add('facebook.com', 25) # insert 25 at once; should return 25

Import pyprobables and setup a Cuckoo Filter
from probables import CuckooFilter
cko = CuckooFilter(capacity=100, max_swaps=10)
cko.add('google.com')
cko.check('facebook.com') # should return False
cko.check('google.com') # should return True

Import pyprobables and setup a Quotient Filter
from probables import QuotientFilter
qf = QuotientFilter(quotient=24)
qf.add('google.com')
qf.check('facebook.com') # should return False
qf.check('google.com') # should return True

Supplying a pre-defined, alternative hashing strategies
from probables import BloomFilter
from probables.hashes import default_sha256
blm = BloomFilter(est_elements=1000, false_positive_rate=0.05,
hash_function=default_sha256)
blm.add('google.com')
blm.check('facebook.com') # should return False
blm.check('google.com') # should return True

Defining hashing function using the provided decorators
import mmh3 # murmur hash 3 implementation (pip install mmh3)
from probables.hashes import hash_with_depth_bytes
from probables import BloomFilter

@hash_with_depth_bytes
def my_hash(key, depth):
return mmh3.hash_bytes(key, seed=depth)

blm = BloomFilter(est_elements=1000, false_positive_rate=0.05, hash_function=my_hash)
import hashlib
from probables.hashes import hash_with_depth_int
from probables.constants import UINT64_T_MAX
from probables import BloomFilter

@hash_with_depth_int
def my_hash(key, seed=0, encoding="utf-8"):
max64mod = UINT64_T_MAX + 1
val = int(hashlib.sha512(key.encode(encoding)).hexdigest(), 16)
val += seed # not a good example, but uses the seed value
return val % max64mod

blm = BloomFilter(est_elements=1000, false_positive_rate=0.05, hash_function=my_hash)

for other data structures available and the
quickstart page
for more examples!

Backward Compatible Changes
If you are using previously exported probablistic data structures (v0.4.1 or below)
and used the default hashing strategy, you will want to use the following code
to mimic the original default hashing algorithm.
from probables import BloomFilter
from probables.hashes import hash_with_depth_int

@hash_with_depth_int
def old_fnv1a(key, depth=1):
return tmp_fnv_1a(key)

def tmp_fnv_1a(key):
max64mod = UINT64_T_MAX + 1
hval = 14695981039346656073
fnv_64_prime = 1099511628211
tmp = map(ord, key)
for t_str in tmp:
hval ^= t_str
hval *= fnv_64_prime
hval %= max64mod
return hval

blm = BloomFilter(filpath="old-file-path.blm", hash_function=old_fnv1a)
