PyDict

PyDict is a Python library designed to provide a more efficient and user-friendly alternative to Python's built-in dictionary (dict) type. It aims to address some of the limitations and performance issues associated with the standard dict, particularly in scenarios involving frequent insertions, deletions, and lookups. PyDict achieves this by implementing a hash table with open addressing and a dynamic resizing mechanism, which allows it to maintain a low load factor and optimize performance.

One of the key features of PyDict is its support for custom hash functions. This allows users to define their own hash functions tailored to specific use cases, potentially improving performance and reducing collisions. Additionally, PyDict provides a more intuitive API for common dictionary operations, such as inserting, deleting, and retrieving key-value pairs.

PyDict is compatible with Python 3.6 and later, and it can be easily integrated into existing Python projects. The library is open-source and available on GitHub, where users can contribute to its development and report issues. PyDict is particularly useful in applications that require high-performance dictionary operations, such as data processing, caching, and indexing.
