Methods Documentation

add(key, row)

Add a new entry to the sorted array.

Parameters

keytuple

Column values at the given row

rowint

Row number

find(key)

Find all rows matching the given key.

Parameters

keytuple

Column values

Returns

matching_rowslist

List of rows matching the input key

find_pos(key, data, exact=False)

Return the index of the largest key in data greater than or equal to the given key, data pair.

Parameters

keytuple

Column key

dataint

Row number

exactbool

If True, return the index of the given key in data or -1 if the key is not present.

items()

Retrieve all array items as a list of pairs of the form [(key, [row 1, row 2, …]), …]

range(lower, upper, bounds)

Find values in the given range.

Parameters

lowertuple

Lower search bound

uppertuple

Upper search bound

bounds(2,) tuple of bool

Indicates whether the search should be inclusive or exclusive with respect to the endpoints. The first argument corresponds to an inclusive lower bound, and the second argument to an inclusive upper bound.

remove(key, data)

Remove the given entry from the sorted array.

Parameters

keytuple

Column values

dataint

Row number

Returns

successfulbool

Whether the entry was successfully removed

replace_rows(row_map)

Replace all rows with the values they map to in the given dictionary. Any rows not present as keys in the dictionary will have their entries deleted.

Parameters

row_mapdict

Mapping of row numbers to new row numbers

shift_left(row)

Decrement all row numbers greater than the input row.

Parameters

rowint

Input row number

shift_right(row)

Increment all row numbers greater than or equal to the input row.

Parameters

rowint

Input row number

sort()

Make row order align with key order.

sorted_data()

Return rows in sorted order.
