Python bindings
===============
This library includes experimental bindings bring efficient immutable
vectors for the Python language. They were developed as part of the
research for the `ICFP'17 paper`_. The interface is quite
**incomplete**, yet you can already do some things like:
.. literalinclude:: ../extra/python/example.py
:language: python
:start-after: intro/start
:end-before: intro/end
..
**Do you want to help** making these bindings complete and production
ready? Drop a line at `immer@sinusoid.al
<mailto:immer@sinusoid.al>`_ or `open an issue on Github
<https://github.com/arximboldi/immer>`_
Installation
------------
::
pip install --user git+https://github.com/arximboldi/immer.git
Benchmarks
----------
The library includes a set of benchmarks that compare it to
`pyrsistent <https://github.com/tobgu/pyrsistent>`_. You can see the
results in the `ICFP'17 paper`_. If you want to run them yourself,
you need to install some dependencies::
pip install --user pytest-benchmark pyrsistent
Then you need to clone the `project repository
<https://github.com/arximboldi/immer>`_ and from its root, run::
pytest extra/python/benchmark
