"""Classes to represent arbitrary sets (including sets of sets).
This module implements sets using dictionaries whose values are
ignored. The usual operations (union, intersection, deletion, etc.)
are provided as both methods and operators.
Important: sets are not sequences! While they support 'x in s',
'len(s)', and 'for x in s', none of those operations are unique for
sequences; for example, mappings support all three as well. The
characteristic operation for sequences is subscripting with small
integers: s[i], for i in range(len(s)). Sets don't support
subscripting at all. Also, sequences allow multiple occurrences and
their elements have a definite order; sets on the other hand don't
record multiple occurrences and don't remember the order of element
insertion (which is why they don't support s[i]).
The following classes are provided:
BaseSet -- All the operations common to both mutable and immutable
sets. This is an abstract class, not meant to be directly
instantiated.
Set -- Mutable sets, subclass of BaseSet; not hashable.
ImmutableSet -- Immutable sets, subclass of BaseSet; hashable.
An iterable argument is mandatory to create an ImmutableSet.
_TemporarilyImmutableSet -- Not a subclass of BaseSet: just a wrapper
around a Set, hashable, giving the same hash value as the
immutable set equivalent would have. Do not use this class
directly.
Only hashable objects can be added to a Set. In particular, you cannot
really add a Set as an element to another Set; if you try, what is
2002-08-20 20:34:01 -03:00
actually added is an ImmutableSet built from it (it compares equal to
the one you tried adding).
When you ask if `x in y' where x is a Set and y is a Set or
ImmutableSet, x is wrapped into a _TemporarilyImmutableSet z, and
what's tested is actually `z in y'.

# Code history:
#
# - Greg V. Wilson wrote the first version, using a different approach
# to the mutable/immutable problem, and inheriting from dict.
#
# - Alex Martelli modified Greg's version to implement the current
# Set/ImmutableSet approach, and make the data an attribute.
#
# - Guido van Rossum rewrote much of the code, made some API changes,
# and cleaned up the docstrings.
#
Ouch. The test suite *really* needs work!!!!! There were several superficial errors and one deep one that aren't currently caught. I'm headed for bed after this checkin. - Fixed several typos introduced by Raymond Hettinger (through cut-n-paste from my template): it's _as_temporarily_immutable, not _as_temporary_immutable, and moreover when the element is added, we should use _as_immutable. - Made the seq argument to ImmutableSet.__init__ optional, so we can write ImmutableSet() to create an immutable empty set. - Rename the seq argument to Set and ImmutableSet to iterable. - Add a Set.__hash__ method that raises a TypeError. We inherit a default __hash__ implementation from object, and we don't want that. We can then catch this in update(), so that e.g. s.update([Set([1])]) will transform the Set([1]) to ImmutableSet([1]). - Added the dance to catch TypeError and try _as_immutable in the constructors too (by calling _update()). This is needed so that Set([Set([1])]) is correctly interpreted as Set([ImmutableSet([1])]). (I was puzzled by a side effect of this and the inherited __hash__ when comparing two sets of sets while testing different powerset implementations: the Set element passed to a Set constructor wasn't transformed to an ImmutableSet, and then the dictionary didn't believe the Set found in one dict it was the same as ImmutableSet in the other, because the hashes were different.) - Refactored Set.update() and both __init__() methods; moved the body of update() into BaseSet as _update(), and call this from __init__() and update(). - Changed the NotImplementedError in BaseSet.__init__ to TypeError, both for consistency with basestring() and because we have to use TypeError when denying Set.__hash__. Together those provide sufficient evidence that an unimplemented method needs to raise TypeError.
