SortedArray#

class astropy.table.SortedArray(data, row_index, unique=False)[source]#

Bases: object

Implements a sorted array container using a list of numpy arrays.

Parameters:

dataTable: Sorted columns of the original table
row_indexColumn object: Row numbers corresponding to data columns
uniquebool: Whether the values of the index must be unique. Defaults to False.

Methods Summary

`add`(key, row)	Add a new entry to the sorted array.
`find`(key)	Find all rows matching the given key.
`find_pos`(key, data[, exact])	Return the index of the largest key in data greater than or equal to the given key, data pair.

Methods Documentation

add(key, row)[source]#

Add a new entry to the sorted array.

Parameters:

keypython:tuple: Column values at the given row
rowpython:int: Row number

find(key)[source]#

Find all rows matching the given key.

Parameters:

keypython:tuple: Column values

Returns:

matching_rowspython:list: List of rows matching the input key

find_pos(key, data, exact=False)[source]#

Return the index of the largest key in data greater than or equal to the given key, data pair.

Parameters:

keypython:tuple: Column key
datapython:int: Row number
exactbool: If True, return the index of the given key in data or -1 if the key is not present.

items()[source]#: Retrieve all array items as a list of pairs of the form [(key, [row 1, row 2, …]), …].

range(lower, upper, bounds)[source]#

Find values in the given range.

Parameters:

lowerpython:tuple: Lower search bound
upperpython:tuple: Upper search bound
bounds(2,) python:tuple of bool: Indicates whether the search should be inclusive or exclusive with respect to the endpoints. The first argument corresponds to an inclusive lower bound, and the second argument to an inclusive upper bound.

remove(key, data)[source]#

Remove the given entry from the sorted array.

Parameters:

keypython:tuple: Column values
datapython:int: Row number

Returns:

successfulbool: Whether the entry was successfully removed

replace_rows(row_map)[source]#

Replace all rows with the values they map to in the given dictionary. Any rows not present as keys in the dictionary will have their entries deleted.

Parameters:

row_mappython:dict: Mapping of row numbers to new row numbers

shift_left(row)[source]#

Decrement all row numbers greater than the input row.

Parameters:

rowpython:int: Input row number

shift_right(row)[source]#

Increment all row numbers greater than or equal to the input row.

Parameters:

rowpython:int: Input row number

sort()[source]#: Make row order align with key order.

sorted_data()[source]#: Return rows in sorted order.
