Two bits per entry!
by Kevin Dangoor
Google Code is a new site that presents some open source code from Google. Need a sparse hashmap that only takes two bits per entry? Want more functional programming in Python? Those are a couple of the first releases.
Would anybody be as kind as to provide a sparsehash.pyd package, with the most important types such as str, int, float and hashable pyobjects provided? Could come in quite handy when crushing massive amounts of data without resorting to have to touch compiled languages.
I thought this seemed useful as well. However, the sparsehash library appeared (from the docs) to be a C++ STL-based library, and I have no idea how easy it is to link *that* with Python. C is no problem…
