Python 2 support? about raccoon HOT 8 CLOSED

Oh, and of course the print() method has to be renamed for py2 -- I made it show().

from raccoon.

Thanks for this. If you submit a pull request I will take a look. One question, why does the print() method need to be renamed? Does it conflict with something in python2.7?

from raccoon.

Yeah, print is a reserved keyword in Python < 3, just like for, try, and yield.

I'll send a PR your way.

Also, since you seem to be doing active development, are you taking feature requests? One that jumps out to me is the seeming lack of a way to sort columns in reverse order, or according to a user-specified sort key / compare function. Any plans to do that?

from raccoon.

Thanks for all this. The project is an outgrowth of a larger project where I had a need for this pandas dataframe like data structure that was fast to expand. After searching everywhere and not able to find it I thought others might need it as well so I split that part out into this package.

So any development is mostly as needed in my larger project, but I am very happy to take that feature request or have anyone else add to the code base. My only request is that this code stay as fast as possible for the expanding dataframe use case.

from raccoon.

I just made a Feature Request wiki page and added your suggestion.

Thanks for the PR #4 , it is merged into master

Any idea what it takes to make raccoon available for Python 2 when installing with pip? I see the new release on PyPi and it's listed in the Python 2.7 category, but there's no build for 2.7 available, so it doesn't work unless I pip install from github.

I updated the setup.cfg to generate a universal wheel that will install on either python 2 or 3 and uploaded the new wheel to PyPi so "pip install raccoon" will work on either pip2 or pip3.
