<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577515 by <a href="/recipes/users/2433284/">Matteo Dell'Amico</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/algorithms/">algorithms</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/interval/">interval</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/mapping/">mapping</a>). </p> <p>This structure is a kind of dictionary which allows you to map data intervals to values. You can then query the structure for a given point, and it returns the value associated to the interval which contains the point. Boundary values don't need to be an integer.</p> <p>In this version, the excellent <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/blist/">blist</a> library by Daniel Stutzbach is used for efficiency. By using the collections.MutableMapping abstract base class, the whole signature of mappings is supported.</p>

Revision 29. </p> <p>A simple implementation of a dictionary which always (when applicable) returns keys, values, items (key-value pairs) sorted by keys (inserting/removing order doesn't matter and only keys are important; so please note that it is something different than OrderedDict in Python 3.1/2.7 or Django's SortedDict).</p>

Revision 6. </p> <p>A Flipdict is a python dict subclass that maintains a one-to-one inverse mapping. Each key maps to a unique value, and each value maps back to that same key. Each instance has a "flip" attribute to access the inverse mapping.</p>
