Okay, so this is a little hard to explain, but here goes:
I have a dictionary, which I'm adding content to. The content is a hashed username (key) with an IP address (value).
I was putting the hashes into an order by running them against base 16, and then using Collection.orderedDict.
So, the dictionary looked a little like this:
d = {'1234': '8.8.8.8', '2345':'0.0.0.0', '3213':'4.4.4.4', '4523':'1.1.1.1', '7654':'1.3.3.7', '9999':'127.0.0.1'}
What I needed was a mechanism that would allow me to pick one of those keys, and get the key/value item one higher and one lower. So, for example, If I were to pick 2345, the code would return the key:value combinations '1234:8.8.8.8' and '3213:4.4.4.4'
So, something like:
for i in d:
while i < len(d)
if i == '2345':
print i.nextItem
print i.previousItem
break()
解决方案
As seen in the OrderedDict source code,
if you have a key and you want to find the next and prev in O(1) here's how you do that.
>>> from collections import OrderedDict
>>> d = OrderedDict([('aaaa', 'a',), ('bbbb', 'b'), ('cccc', 'c'), ('dddd', 'd'), ('eeee', 'e'), ('ffff', 'f')])
>>> i = 'eeee'
>>> link_prev, link_next, key = d._OrderedDict__map['eeee']
>>> print 'nextKey: ', link_next[2], 'prevKey: ', link_prev[2]
nextKey: ffff prevKey: dddd
This will give you next and prev by insertion order. If you add items in random order then just keep track of your items in sorted order.
