queuelib 1.7.0

Description:

queuelib 1.7.0

Queuelib is a Python library that implements object collections which are stored
in memory or persisted to disk, provide a simple API, and run fast.
Queuelib provides collections for queues (FIFO), stacks (LIFO), queues
sorted by priority and queues that are emptied in a round-robin fashion.

Note
Queuelib collections are not thread-safe.

Queuelib supports Python 3.5+ and has no dependencies.

Installation
You can install Queuelib either via the Python Package Index (PyPI) or from
source.
To install using pip:
$ pip install queuelib
To install using easy_install:
$ easy_install queuelib
If you have downloaded a source tarball you can install it by running the
following (as root):
# python setup.py install


FIFO/LIFO disk queues
Queuelib provides FIFO and LIFO queue implementations.
Here is an example usage of the FIFO queue:
>>> from queuelib import FifoDiskQueue
>>> q = FifoDiskQueue("queuefile")
>>> q.push(b'a')
>>> q.push(b'b')
>>> q.push(b'c')
>>> q.pop()
b'a'
>>> q.close()
>>> q = FifoDiskQueue("queuefile")
>>> q.pop()
b'b'
>>> q.pop()
b'c'
>>> q.pop()
>>>
The LIFO queue is identical (API-wise), but importing LifoDiskQueue
instead.


PriorityQueue
A discrete-priority queue implemented by combining multiple FIFO/LIFO queues
(one per priority).
First, select the type of queue to be used per priority (FIFO or LIFO):
>>> from queuelib import FifoDiskQueue
>>> qfactory = lambda priority: FifoDiskQueue('queue-dir-%s' % priority)
Then instantiate the Priority Queue with it:
>>> from queuelib import PriorityQueue
>>> pq = PriorityQueue(qfactory)
And use it:
>>> pq.push(b'a', 3)
>>> pq.push(b'b', 1)
>>> pq.push(b'c', 2)
>>> pq.push(b'd', 2)
>>> pq.pop()
b'b'
>>> pq.pop()
b'c'
>>> pq.pop()
b'd'
>>> pq.pop()
b'a'


RoundRobinQueue
Has nearly the same interface and implementation as a Priority Queue except
that each element must be pushed with a (mandatory) key. Popping from the
queue cycles through the keys “round robin”.
Instantiate the Round Robin Queue similarly to the Priority Queue:
>>> from queuelib import RoundRobinQueue
>>> rr = RoundRobinQueue(qfactory)
And use it:
>>> rr.push(b'a', '1')
>>> rr.push(b'b', '1')
>>> rr.push(b'c', '2')
>>> rr.push(b'd', '2')
>>> rr.pop()
b'a'
>>> rr.pop()
b'c'
>>> rr.pop()
b'b'
>>> rr.pop()
b'd'
