class libtmux._internal.sparse_array.SparseArray

Bases:

• dict[int, T]
• t.Generic[T]

Support non-sequential indexes while maintaining list -like behavior.

A normal list would raise IndexError .

There are no native sparse arrays in python that contain non-sequential indexes and maintain list-like behavior. This is useful for handling libtmux options and hooks:

command-alias[1] split-pane=split-window to {'command-alias[1]': {'split-pane=split-window'}}

list would lose indice info, and dict would lose list-like behavior.

Examples

Create a sparse array and add values at non-sequential indices:

Copy

>>> from libtmux._internal.sparse_array import SparseArray

Copy

>>> arr: SparseArray[str] = SparseArray()
>>> arr.add(0, "first hook command")
>>> arr.add(5, "fifth hook command")
>>> arr.add(2, "second hook command")

Access values by index (dict-style):

Copy

>>> arr[0]
'first hook command'
>>> arr[5]
'fifth hook command'

Check index existence:

Copy

>>> 0 in arr
True
>>> 3 in arr
False

Iterate values in sorted index order:

Copy

>>> list(arr.iter_values())
['first hook command', 'second hook command', 'fifth hook command']

Convert to a list (values only, sorted by index):

Copy

>>> arr.as_list()
['first hook command', 'second hook command', 'fifth hook command']

Append adds at max index + 1:

Copy

>>> arr.append("appended command")
>>> arr[6]
'appended command'

Access raw indices:

Copy

>>> sorted(arr.keys())
[0, 2, 5, 6]

Members
