Big Sets for Python
I’ve found that it is often very useful to store enourmous sets, often
for IP address or cached sets of database primary keys (to avoid
endless SELECT count(*) FROM table WHERE primary_key=?
queries). However, doing this with python types is, well, evil. It
gets really large, really fast due to the way python types are
stored. So, I wrote an extension in C++ and pyrex to do this fast and
in a space efficient manner.
This is pre-release, beta quality code, use with caution.
