python3-pyrsistent – persistent/functional/immutable data structures for Python

Pyrsistent is a number of persistent collections (sometimes referred to as functional data structures). Persistent in the sense that they are immutable.

All methods on a data structure that would normally mutate it instead return a new copy of the structure containing the requested updates. The original structure is left untouched.

The collection types and key features currently implemented are:

  • PVector, similar to a python list

  • PMap, similar to dict

  • PSet, similar to set

  • PRecord, a PMap on steroids with fixed fields, optional type and invariant checking and much more

  • PClass, a Python class fixed fields, optional type and invariant checking and much more

  • Checked collections, PVector, PMap and PSet with optional type and invariance checks and more

  • PBag, similar to collections.Counter

  • PList, a classic singly linked list

  • PDeque, similar to collections.deque

  • Immutable object type (immutable) built on the named tuple

  • freeze and thaw functions to convert between pythons standard collections and pyrsistent collections.

  • Flexible transformations of arbitrarily complex structures built from PMaps and PVectors.
