Features

  • Mature: Depended on by Google, Venmo, CERN, Baidu, Tencent, and teams across the world since 2009

  • Familiar, Pythonic APIs that are carefully designed for safety, simplicity, flexibility, and ergonomics

  • Lightweight, with no runtime dependencies outside Python's standard library

  • Implemented in concise, well-factored, fully type-hinted Python code that is optimized for running efficiently as well as for long-term maintenance and stability (as well as joy <#learning-from-bidict>__)

  • Extensively documented <https://bidict.readthedocs.io>__

  • 100% test coverage running continuously across all supported Python versions (including property-based tests and benchmarks)

Installation

pip install bidict

Quick Start

.. code:: python

from bidict import bidict element_by_symbol = bidict({'H': 'hydrogen'}) element_by_symbol['H'] 'hydrogen' element_by_symbol.inverse['hydrogen'] 'H'

Enterprise Support

Enterprise-level support for bidict can be obtained via the Tidelift subscription <https://tidelift.com/subscription/pkg/pypi-bidict?utm_source=pypi-bidict&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=readme>__ or by contacting me directly <mailto:[email protected]>__.

I have a US-based LLC set up for invoicing, and I have 15+ years of professional experience delivering software and support to companies successfully.

You can also sponsor my work through several platforms, including GitHub Sponsors. See the Sponsoring <#sponsoring>__ section below for details, including rationale and examples of companies supporting the open source projects they depend on.

Release Notifications

.. duplicated in CHANGELOG.rst: (Would use .. include:: but GitHub's renderer doesn't support it.)

Watch bidict releases on GitHub <https://github.com/jab/bidict/releases>__ to be notified when new versions of bidict are published. Click the "Watch" dropdown, choose "Custom", and then choose "Releases".

Learning from bidict

One of the best things about bidict is that it touches a surprising number of interesting Python corners, especially given its small size and scope.

Check out :doc:learning-from-bidict [#fn-learning]_ if you're interested in learning more.

Contributing

I have been bidict's sole maintainer and active contributor <https://github.com/jab/bidict/graphs/contributors>__ since I started the project ~15 years ago.

Your help would be most welcome! See the :doc:contributors-guide [#fn-contributing]_ for more information.

Sponsoring

.. duplicated in CONTRIBUTING.rst (Would use .. include:: but GitHub's renderer doesn't support it.)

.. image:: https://img.shields.io/badge/GitHub-sponsor-ff69b4 :target: https://github.com/sponsors/jab :alt: Sponsor through GitHub

Bidict is the product of thousands of hours of my unpaid work over the 15+ years that I've been the sole maintainer.

If bidict has helped you or your company accomplish your work, please sponsor my work through one of the following, and/or ask your company to do the same:

  • GitHub <https://github.com/sponsors/jab>__
  • PayPal <https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=jabronson%40gmail%2ecom&lc=US&item_name=Sponsor%20bidict>__
  • Tidelift <https://tidelift.com>__
  • thanks.dev <https://thanks.dev>__
  • Gumroad <https://gumroad.com/l/bidict>__
  • a support engagement with my LLC <#enterprise-support>__

If you're not sure which to use, GitHub is an easy option, especially if you already have a GitHub account. Just choose a monthly or one-time amount, and GitHub handles everything else. Your bidict sponsorship on GitHub will automatically go on the same regular bill as any other GitHub charges you pay for. PayPal is another easy option for one-time contributions.

See the following for rationale and examples of companies supporting the open source projects they depend on in this manner:
