Python Ranges

Inspired by DLang's ranges. The inspiration is that I'm dissapointed by python's current approach to iteration and functional programming.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/AODQ/python-drange.git
cd python-drange
sudo pip install .

Features

Static Typing with 'Any' and Variant option
Memory pool with proper slices [Slices do not copy unless modified]
Many different range types:
    Input, Forward, Bidirectional, Random Access
    Output, Assignable, Infinite
Introspection functions (Is_input, Is_infinite, etc)
"UFCS"-optional chaining functions [upper-case = supported]:
    Map, Filter, Reduce, Chain, Enumerate, Drop, Dropback, Cycle, Iota, Chunks,
    Choose, Zip, Stride, Tee, Take, Array, and Retro
To change size, just write to a range's length
+ to concatenate, == for equality

Examples

assert(Iota(1, 11).Reduce(lambda x, y: x-y) == -53)
assert(Iota(1, 11).Array().Retro().Reduce(lambda x, y: x-y) == -44)

class FibonacciRange:
  Empty = InfiniteEmpty()
  def __init__(s, l=1, r=0): (s.l, s.r) = (l, r)
  def Front(s):
    (s.l, s.r) = (s.l+s.r, s.l)
     return s.r
  Save = lambda s: FibonacciRange(s.l, s.r)

fib = FibonacciRange();
assert(Take(fib, 10).Reduce(lambda x, y: x+y) == 143);

Check out drange_test.py for more, which includes unit tests

Restrictions;

Python lists, maps, dicts, etc are not allowed in a range
