What’s new in 1.0.0

API Change (backward compatible with 0.6.0)

converter() now takes a second argument which defaults to int that is used as a default factory for the underlying defaultdict

path_to_tree() has the same change.

Boolean operations

These are kept for backward compatibility but not documented anymore. Commutation don’t work. Refactoring is needed.

What’s new in 0.6.0

API Change

formating

  • for the sake of consistency added a pformat for the pprint
  • change keys value separator in tformat to :.

not is a problem

Can’t find how to overload ! atree. __not__ is not behaving the way I want. I cannot write a ^ b = ( a & (!b) ) | ( (!a) & b )

Their will be an inconsistency in the logical operation notation because of this pecular side of OO programming as considered right by python specifications.

Planning on using rand / ror / rnot / rxor in the meaning of recursive ... operations.

I should change all methods naming according to this. Least surprise principle they said :( it is pretty surprising to me that operator overloading cannot be done when all is object... and that it work 99% of the time.

Too much of a headache write now I postpone thinking

future API change for logical operations

or behaviour mixes its behaviour with union and or, and and with intersection and logical and. As a dramatic result : xor does not give the same results as not xand. So I will decide either to standardize a three value boolean algebrae where

  • value & undefined = False
  • value | undefined = value

which would be equivalent to state None = False but python says :

>>> None == False
False
>>> None is False
False

or

  • if not defined value, dont guess and I’ll prune all paths that are not define

or

  • raise TypeError Exception for unsupported type (empty path vs known path)

Almost complete support for set operation

We have a problem inherent with python not being able to tell if two functions shares same code and context. func1 == func2 is synonym they are in t

So set operations will fail in case you use functions.
