Raymond Hettinger b25aa36f83 Improve the memory performance and speed of heapq.nsmallest() by using
an alternate algorithm when the number of selected items is small
relative to the full iterable.

Raymond Hettinger bce036b49e Convert test_heapq.py to unittests. 2004-06-10 05:07:18 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 33ecffb65a SF patch #969791: Add nlargest() and nsmallest() to heapq. 2004-06-10 05:03:17 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 065c06a622 Add another test which exercises the whole suite with a
heapsort and verifies the result against list.sort().

Tim Peters 0cd53a6c37 Added new heapreplace(heap, item) function, to pop (and return) the
currently-smallest value, and add item, in one gulp.  See the second
N-Best algorithm in the test suite for a natural use.

Tim Peters aa7d24319e Minor fiddling, including a simple class to implement a heap iterator
in the test file.  I have docs for heapq.heapify ready to check in, but
Jack appears to have left behind a stale lock in the Doc/lib directory.

Tim Peters 28c25527c2 Hmm! I thought I checked this in before! Oh well.
Added new heapify() function, which transforms an arbitrary list into a
heap in linear time; that's a fundamental tool for using heaps in real
life <wink>.

Added heapyify() test.  Added a "less naive" N-best algorithm to the test
suite, and noted that this could actually go much faster (building on
heapify()) if we had max-heaps instead of min-heaps (the iterative method
is appropriate when all the data isn't known in advance, but when it is
known in advance the tradeoffs get murkier).

Tim Peters d2cf1ab0e2 check_invariant(): Use the same child->parent "formula" used by heapq.py. 2002-08-02 19:41:54 +00:00
Tim Peters d9ea39db84 Don't use true division where int division was intended. For that matter,
don't use division at all.

Guido van Rossum 0b19178736 Adding the heap queue algorithm, per discussion in python-dev last
week.
