Alterado na versão 3.3: Moved Coleções Abstratas Classes Base to the
"collections.abc" module. For backwards compatibility, they continue
to be visible in this module as well.


8.3.1. "ChainMap" objects
=========================

Novo na versão 3.3.

Uma classe "ChainMap" é fornecido para ligar rapidamente uma série de
mapeamentos para que eles possam ser tratados como uma única unidade.
Muitas vezes é muito mais rápido do que criar um novo dicionário e
executar múltiplas chamadas "update()"

A classe pode ser usada para simular escopos aninhados e é útil em
modelos.

class collections.ChainMap(*maps)

   Um grupo de múltiplos dicts  "ChainMap" ou outros mapeamentos
   juntos para criar uma única view atualizável. Se *maps* não são
   especificados, Um diticionário vazio é fornecido para que uma nova
   cadeia sempre tenha pelo menos um mapeamento.

   Os mapeamentos subjacentes são armazenados em uma lista. Essa lista
   é pública e pode ser acessada ou atualizada usando o atributo *
   maps >>*<<. Não existe outro estado.

   Faz a busca nos mapeamentos subjacentes sucessivamente até que uma
   chave seja encontrada. Em contraste, escrita, atualições e remoções
   operam apenas no primeiro mapeamento.

   Uma "ChainMap" incorpora os mapeamentos subjacentes por referência.
   Então, se um dos mapeamentos subjacentes for atualizado, essas
   alterações serão refletidas em: class: *ChainMap*.

   Todos os métodos usuais do dicionário são suportados. Além disso,
   existe um atributo *maps*, um método para criar novos subcontextos
   e uma propriedade para acessar todos, exceto o primeiro mapeamento:

   maps

      Uma lista de mapeamentos atualizáveis ​​pelo usuário. A lista é
      ordenada desde o primeiro pesquisado até a última pesquisado. É
      o único estado armazenado e pode ser modificado para alterar
      quais mapeamentos são pesquisados. A lista deve sempre conter
      pelo menos um mapeamento.

   new_child(m=None)

      Retorna uma nova: class: 'ChainMap' contendo um novo mapa
      seguido de todos os mapas na instância atual. Se "m"  for
      especificado, torna-se o novo mapa na frente da lista de
      mapeamentos; Se não especificado, é usado um dicionário vazio,
      de modo que chamar "d.new_child ()" é equivalente a:
      "ChainMap({}, *d.maps)". Esse método é usado para criar
      subcontextos que podem ser atualizados sem alterar valores em
      nenhum dos mapeamentos pai.

      Alterado na versão 3.4: O parâmetro opcional "m" foi adicionado.

   parents

      <nested scope>

Ver também:

  * A classe MultiContext no pacote CodeTools de Enthought tem opções
    para suportar a escrita em qualquer mapeamento na cadeia.

  * Django's Context class for templating is a read-only chain of
    mappings.  It also features pushing and popping of contexts
    similar to the "new_child()" method and the "parents()" property.

  * The Nested Contexts recipe has options to control whether writes
    and other mutations apply only to the first mapping or to any
    mapping in the chain.

  * A greatly simplified read-only version of Chainmap.


8.3.1.1. "ChainMap" Examples and Recipes
----------------------------------------

This section shows various approaches to working with chained maps.

Example of simulating Python's internal lookup chain:

   import builtins
   pylookup = ChainMap(locals(), globals(), vars(builtins))

Example of letting user specified command-line arguments take
precedence over environment variables which in turn take precedence
over default values:

   import os, argparse

   defaults = {'color': 'red', 'user': 'guest'}

   parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
   parser.add_argument('-u', '--user')
   parser.add_argument('-c', '--color')
   namespace = parser.parse_args()
   command_line_args = {k:v for k, v in vars(namespace).items() if v}

   combined = ChainMap(command_line_args, os.environ, defaults)
   print(combined['color'])
   print(combined['user'])

Example patterns for using the "ChainMap" class to simulate nested
contexts:

   c = ChainMap()        # Create root context
   d = c.new_child()     # Create nested child context
   e = c.new_child()     # Child of c, independent from d
   e.maps[0]             # Current context dictionary -- like Python's locals()
   e.maps[-1]            # Root context -- like Python's globals()
   e.parents             # Enclosing context chain -- like Python's nonlocals

   d['x']                # Get first key in the chain of contexts
   d['x'] = 1            # Set value in current context
   del d['x']            # Delete from current context
   list(d)               # All nested values
   k in d                # Check all nested values
   len(d)                # Number of nested values
   d.items()             # All nested items
   dict(d)               # Flatten into a regular dictionary

The "ChainMap" class only makes updates (writes and deletions) to the
first mapping in the chain while lookups will search the full chain.
However, if deep writes and deletions are desired, it is easy to make
a subclass that updates keys found deeper in the chain:

   class DeepChainMap(ChainMap):
       'Variant of ChainMap that allows direct updates to inner scopes'

       def __setitem__(self, key, value):
           for mapping in self.maps:
               if key in mapping:
                   mapping[key] = value
                   return
           self.maps[0][key] = value

       def __delitem__(self, key):
           for mapping in self.maps:
               if key in mapping:
                   del mapping[key]
                   return
           raise KeyError(key)

   >>> d = DeepChainMap({'zebra': 'black'}, {'elephant': 'blue'}, {'lion': 'yellow'})
   >>> d['lion'] = 'orange'         # update an existing key two levels down
   >>> d['snake'] = 'red'           # new keys get added to the topmost dict
   >>> del d['elephant']            # remove an existing key one level down
   >>> d                            # display result
   DeepChainMap({'zebra': 'black', 'snake': 'red'}, {}, {'lion': 'orange'})


8.3.2. "Counter" objects
========================

A counter tool is provided to support convenient and rapid tallies.
For example:

   >>> # Tally occurrences of words in a list
   >>> cnt = Counter()
   >>> for word in ['red', 'blue', 'red', 'green', 'blue', 'blue']:
   ...     cnt[word] += 1
   >>> cnt
   Counter({'blue': 3, 'red': 2, 'green': 1})

   >>> # Find the ten most common words in Hamlet
   >>> import re
   >>> words = re.findall(r'\w+', open('hamlet.txt').read().lower())
   >>> Counter(words).most_common(10)
   [('the', 1143), ('and', 966), ('to', 762), ('of', 669), ('i', 631),
    ('you', 554),  ('a', 546), ('my', 514), ('hamlet', 471), ('in', 451)]

class collections.Counter([iterable-or-mapping])

   A "Counter" is a "dict" subclass for counting hashable objects. It
   is an unordered collection where elements are stored as dictionary
   keys and their counts are stored as dictionary values.  Counts are
   allowed to be any integer value including zero or negative counts.
   The "Counter" class is similar to bags or multisets in other
   languages.

   Os elementas são contados a partir de um *iterável* ou inicializado
   a partir de um outro *mapeamento* (ou contador):

   >>> c = Counter()                           # a new, empty counter
   >>> c = Counter('gallahad')                 # a new counter from an iterable
   >>> c = Counter({'red': 4, 'blue': 2})      # a new counter from a mapping
   >>> c = Counter(cats=4, dogs=8)             # a new counter from keyword args

   Objetos Counter tem uma interface de dicionário, com a diferença
   que devolvem uma contagem zero para itens que não estão presentes
   em vez de levantar a excessão  "KeyError":

   >>> c = Counter(['eggs', 'ham'])
   >>> c['bacon']                              # count of a missing element is zero
   0

   Definir uma contagem como zero não remove um elemento do contador.
   Use "del" para o remover completamente.

   >>> c['sausage'] = 0                        # counter entry with a zero count
   >>> del c['sausage']                        # del actually removes the entry

   Novo na versão 3.1.

   Objetos Counter permitem três métodos além dos disponíveis para
   todos os dicionário:

   elements()

      Return an iterator over elements repeating each as many times as
      its count.  Elements are returned in arbitrary order.  If an
      element's count is less than one, "elements()" will ignore it.

      >>> c = Counter(a=4, b=2, c=0, d=-2)
      >>> sorted(c.elements())
      ['a', 'a', 'a', 'a', 'b', 'b']

   most_common([n])

      Return a list of the *n* most common elements and their counts
      from the most common to the least.  If *n* is omitted or "None",
      "most_common()" returns *all* elements in the counter. Elements
      with equal counts are ordered arbitrarily:

      >>> Counter('abracadabra').most_common(3)  
      [('a', 5), ('r', 2), ('b', 2)]

   subtract([iterable-or-mapping])

      Elements are subtracted from an *iterable* or from another
      *mapping* (or counter).  Like "dict.update()" but subtracts
      counts instead of replacing them.  Both inputs and outputs may
      be zero or negative.

      >>> c = Counter(a=4, b=2, c=0, d=-2)
      >>> d = Counter(a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4)
      >>> c.subtract(d)
      >>> c
      Counter({'a': 3, 'b': 0, 'c': -3, 'd': -6})

      Novo na versão 3.2.

   The usual dictionary methods are available for "Counter" objects
   except for two which work differently for counters.

   fromkeys(iterable)

      This class method is not implemented for "Counter" objects.

   update([iterable-or-mapping])

      Elements are counted from an *iterable* or added-in from another
      *mapping* (or counter).  Like "dict.update()" but adds counts
      instead of replacing them.  Also, the *iterable* is expected to
      be a sequence of elements, not a sequence of "(key, value)"
      pairs.

Common patterns for working with "Counter" objects:

   sum(c.values())                 # total of all counts
   c.clear()                       # reset all counts
   list(c)                         # list unique elements
   set(c)                          # convert to a set
   dict(c)                         # convert to a regular dictionary
   c.items()                       # convert to a list of (elem, cnt) pairs
   Counter(dict(list_of_pairs))    # convert from a list of (elem, cnt) pairs
   c.most_common()[:-n-1:-1]       # n least common elements
   +c                              # remove zero and negative counts

Several mathematical operations are provided for combining "Counter"
objects to produce multisets (counters that have counts greater than
zero). Addition and subtraction combine counters by adding or
subtracting the counts of corresponding elements.  Intersection and
union return the minimum and maximum of corresponding counts.  Each
operation can accept inputs with signed counts, but the output will
exclude results with counts of zero or less.

>>> c = Counter(a=3, b=1)
>>> d = Counter(a=1, b=2)
>>> c + d                       # add two counters together:  c[x] + d[x]
Counter({'a': 4, 'b': 3})
>>> c - d                       # subtract (keeping only positive counts)
Counter({'a': 2})
>>> c & d                       # intersection:  min(c[x], d[x]) 
Counter({'a': 1, 'b': 1})
>>> c | d                       # union:  max(c[x], d[x])
Counter({'a': 3, 'b': 2})

Unary addition and subtraction are shortcuts for adding an empty
counter or subtracting from an empty counter.

>>> c = Counter(a=2, b=-4)
>>> +c
Counter({'a': 2})
>>> -c
Counter({'b': 4})

Novo na versão 3.3: Added support for unary plus, unary minus, and in-
place multiset operations.

Nota:

  Counters were primarily designed to work with positive integers to
  represent running counts; however, care was taken to not
  unnecessarily preclude use cases needing other types or negative
  values.  To help with those use cases, this section documents the
  minimum range and type restrictions.

  * The "Counter" class itself is a dictionary subclass with no
    restrictions on its keys and values.  The values are intended to
    be numbers representing counts, but you *could* store anything in
    the value field.

  * The "most_common()" method requires only that the values be
    orderable.

  * For in-place operations such as "c[key] += 1", the value type need
    only support addition and subtraction.  So fractions, floats, and
    decimals would work and negative values are supported.  The same
    is also true for "update()" and "subtract()" which allow negative
    and zero values for both inputs and outputs.

  * The multiset methods are designed only for use cases with positive
    values. The inputs may be negative or zero, but only outputs with
    positive values are created.  There are no type restrictions, but
    the value type needs to support addition, subtraction, and
    comparison.

  * The "elements()" method requires integer counts.  It ignores zero
    and negative counts.

8.3.3. Objetos "deque"
======================

class collections.deque([iterable[, maxlen]])

   Returns a new deque object initialized left-to-right (using
   "append()") with data from *iterable*.  If *iterable* is not
   specified, the new deque is empty.

   Deques are a generalization of stacks and queues (the name is
   pronounced "deck" and is short for "double-ended queue").  Deques
   support thread-safe, memory efficient appends and pops from either
   side of the deque with approximately the same O(1) performance in
   either direction.

   Though "list" objects support similar operations, they are
   optimized for fast fixed-length operations and incur O(n) memory
   movement costs for "pop(0)" and "insert(0, v)" operations which
   change both the size and position of the underlying data
   representation.

   If *maxlen* is not specified or is "None", deques may grow to an
   arbitrary length.  Otherwise, the deque is bounded to the specified
   maximum length.  Once a bounded length deque is full, when new
   items are added, a corresponding number of items are discarded from
   the opposite end.  Bounded length deques provide functionality
   similar to the "tail" filter in Unix. They are also useful for
   tracking transactions and other pools of data where only the most
   recent activity is of interest.

   Deque objects support the following methods:

   append(x)

      Add *x* to the right side of the deque.

   appendleft(x)

      Add *x* to the left side of the deque.

   clear()

      Remove all elements from the deque leaving it with length 0.

   copy()

      Create a shallow copy of the deque.

      Novo na versão 3.5.

   count(x)

      Count the number of deque elements equal to *x*.

      Novo na versão 3.2.

   extend(iterable)

      Extend the right side of the deque by appending elements from
      the iterable argument.

   extendleft(iterable)

      Extend the left side of the deque by appending elements from
      *iterable*. Note, the series of left appends results in
      reversing the order of elements in the iterable argument.

   index(x[, start[, stop]])

      Return the position of *x* in the deque (at or after index
      *start* and before index *stop*).  Returns the first match or
      raises "ValueError" if not found.

      Novo na versão 3.5.

   insert(i, x)

      Insert *x* into the deque at position *i*.

      If the insertion would cause a bounded deque to grow beyond
      *maxlen*, an "IndexError" is raised.

      Novo na versão 3.5.

   pop()

      Remove and return an element from the right side of the deque.
      If no elements are present, raises an "IndexError".

   popleft()

      Remove and return an element from the left side of the deque. If
      no elements are present, raises an "IndexError".

   remove(value)

      Remove the first occurrence of *value*.  If not found, raises a
      "ValueError".

   reverse()

      Reverse the elements of the deque in-place and then return
      "None".

      Novo na versão 3.2.

   rotate(n=1)

      Rotate the deque *n* steps to the right.  If *n* is negative,
      rotate to the left.

      When the deque is not empty, rotating one step to the right is
      equivalent to "d.appendleft(d.pop())", and rotating one step to
      the left is equivalent to "d.append(d.popleft())".

   Deque objects also provide one read-only attribute:

   maxlen

      Maximum size of a deque or "None" if unbounded.

      Novo na versão 3.1.

In addition to the above, deques support iteration, pickling,
"len(d)", "reversed(d)", "copy.copy(d)", "copy.deepcopy(d)",
membership testing with the "in" operator, and subscript references
such as "d[-1]".  Indexed access is O(1) at both ends but slows to
O(n) in the middle.  For fast random access, use lists instead.

Starting in version 3.5, deques support "__add__()", "__mul__()", and
"__imul__()".

Exemplo:

   >>> from collections import deque
   >>> d = deque('ghi')                 # make a new deque with three items
   >>> for elem in d:                   # iterate over the deque's elements
   ...     print(elem.upper())
   G
   H
   I

   >>> d.append('j')                    # add a new entry to the right side
   >>> d.appendleft('f')                # add a new entry to the left side
   >>> d                                # show the representation of the deque
   deque(['f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j'])

   >>> d.pop()                          # return and remove the rightmost item
   'j'
   >>> d.popleft()                      # return and remove the leftmost item
   'f'
   >>> list(d)                          # list the contents of the deque
   ['g', 'h', 'i']
   >>> d[0]                             # peek at leftmost item
   'g'
   >>> d[-1]                            # peek at rightmost item
   'i'

   >>> list(reversed(d))                # list the contents of a deque in reverse
   ['i', 'h', 'g']
   >>> 'h' in d                         # search the deque
   True
   >>> d.extend('jkl')                  # add multiple elements at once
   >>> d
   deque(['g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l'])
   >>> d.rotate(1)                      # right rotation
   >>> d
   deque(['l', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k'])
   >>> d.rotate(-1)                     # left rotation
   >>> d
   deque(['g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l'])

   >>> deque(reversed(d))               # make a new deque in reverse order
   deque(['l', 'k', 'j', 'i', 'h', 'g'])
   >>> d.clear()                        # empty the deque
   >>> d.pop()                          # cannot pop from an empty deque
   Traceback (most recent call last):

   IndexError: pop from an empty deque

   >>> d.extendleft('abc')              # extendleft() reverses the input order
   >>> d
   deque(['c', 'b', 'a'])


8.3.3.1. Receitas de "deque"
----------------------------

This section shows various approaches to working with deques.

Bounded length deques provide functionality similar to the "tail"
filter in Unix:

   def tail(filename, n=10):
       'Return the last n lines of a file'
       with open(filename) as f:
           return deque(f, n)

Another approach to using deques is to maintain a sequence of recently
added elements by appending to the right and popping to the left:

   def moving_average(iterable, n=3):
       # moving_average([40, 30, 50, 46, 39, 44]) --> 40.0 42.0 45.0 43.0
       # http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average
       it = iter(iterable)
       d = deque(itertools.islice(it, n-1))
       d.appendleft(0)
       s = sum(d)
       for elem in it:
           s += elem - d.popleft()
           d.append(elem)
           yield s / n

The "rotate()" method provides a way to implement "deque" slicing and
deletion.  For example, a pure Python implementation of "del d[n]"
relies on the "rotate()" method to position elements to be popped:

   def delete_nth(d, n):
       d.rotate(-n)
       d.popleft()
       d.rotate(n)

To implement "deque" slicing, use a similar approach applying
"rotate()" to bring a target element to the left side of the deque.
Remove old entries with "popleft()", add new entries with "extend()",
and then reverse the rotation. With minor variations on that approach,
it is easy to implement Forth style stack manipulations such as "dup",
"drop", "swap", "over", "pick", "rot", and "roll".


8.3.4. Objetos "defaultdict"
============================

class collections.defaultdict([default_factory[, ...]])

   Returns a new dictionary-like object.  "defaultdict" is a subclass
   of the built-in "dict" class.  It overrides one method and adds one
   writable instance variable.  The remaining functionality is the
   same as for the "dict" class and is not documented here.

   The first argument provides the initial value for the
   "default_factory" attribute; it defaults to "None". All remaining
   arguments are treated the same as if they were passed to the "dict"
   constructor, including keyword arguments.

   "defaultdict" objects support the following method in addition to
   the standard "dict" operations:

   __missing__(key)

      If the "default_factory" attribute is "None", this raises a
      "KeyError" exception with the *key* as argument.

      If "default_factory" is not "None", it is called without
      arguments to provide a default value for the given *key*, this
      value is inserted in the dictionary for the *key*, and returned.

      If calling "default_factory" raises an exception this exception
      is propagated unchanged.

      This method is called by the "__getitem__()" method of the
      "dict" class when the requested key is not found; whatever it
      returns or raises is then returned or raised by "__getitem__()".

      Note that "__missing__()" is *not* called for any operations
      besides "__getitem__()". This means that "get()" will, like
      normal dictionaries, return "None" as a default rather than
      using "default_factory".

   "defaultdict" objects support the following instance variable:

   default_factory

      This attribute is used by the "__missing__()" method; it is
      initialized from the first argument to the constructor, if
      present, or to "None", if absent.


8.3.4.1. "defaultdict" Examples
-------------------------------

Using "list" as the "default_factory", it is easy to group a sequence
of key-value pairs into a dictionary of lists:

>>> s = [('yellow', 1), ('blue', 2), ('yellow', 3), ('blue', 4), ('red', 1)]
>>> d = defaultdict(list)
>>> for k, v in s:
...     d[k].append(v)
...
>>> sorted(d.items())
[('blue', [2, 4]), ('red', [1]), ('yellow', [1, 3])]

When each key is encountered for the first time, it is not already in
the mapping; so an entry is automatically created using the
"default_factory" function which returns an empty "list".  The
"list.append()" operation then attaches the value to the new list.
When keys are encountered again, the look-up proceeds normally
(returning the list for that key) and the "list.append()" operation
adds another value to the list. This technique is simpler and faster
than an equivalent technique using "dict.setdefault()":

>>> d = {}
>>> for k, v in s:
...     d.setdefault(k, []).append(v)
...
>>> sorted(d.items())
[('blue', [2, 4]), ('red', [1]), ('yellow', [1, 3])]

Setting the "default_factory" to "int" makes the "defaultdict" useful
for counting (like a bag or multiset in other languages):

>>> s = 'mississippi'
>>> d = defaultdict(int)
>>> for k in s:
...     d[k] += 1
...
>>> sorted(d.items())
[('i', 4), ('m', 1), ('p', 2), ('s', 4)]

When a letter is first encountered, it is missing from the mapping, so
the "default_factory" function calls "int()" to supply a default count
of zero.  The increment operation then builds up the count for each
letter.

The function "int()" which always returns zero is just a special case
of constant functions.  A faster and more flexible way to create
constant functions is to use a lambda function which can supply any
constant value (not just zero):

>>> def constant_factory(value):
...     return lambda: value
>>> d = defaultdict(constant_factory('<missing>'))
>>> d.update(name='John', action='ran')
>>> '%(name)s %(action)s to %(object)s' % d
'John ran to <missing>'

Setting the "default_factory" to "set" makes the "defaultdict" useful
for building a dictionary of sets:

>>> s = [('red', 1), ('blue', 2), ('red', 3), ('blue', 4), ('red', 1), ('blue', 4)]
>>> d = defaultdict(set)
>>> for k, v in s:
...     d[k].add(v)
...
>>> sorted(d.items())
[('blue', {2, 4}), ('red', {1, 3})]


8.3.5. "namedtuple()" Factory Function for Tuples with Named Fields
===================================================================

Named tuples assign meaning to each position in a tuple and allow for
more readable, self-documenting code.  They can be used wherever
regular tuples are used, and they add the ability to access fields by
name instead of position index.

collections.namedtuple(typename, field_names, *, verbose=False, rename=False, module=None)

   Returns a new tuple subclass named *typename*.  The new subclass is
   used to create tuple-like objects that have fields accessible by
   attribute lookup as well as being indexable and iterable.
   Instances of the subclass also have a helpful docstring (with
   typename and field_names) and a helpful "__repr__()" method which
   lists the tuple contents in a "name=value" format.

   The *field_names* are a sequence of strings such as "['x', 'y']".
   Alternatively, *field_names* can be a single string with each
   fieldname separated by whitespace and/or commas, for example "'x
   y'" or "'x, y'".

   Any valid Python identifier may be used for a fieldname except for
   names starting with an underscore.  Valid identifiers consist of
   letters, digits, and underscores but do not start with a digit or
   underscore and cannot be a "keyword" such as *class*, *for*,
   *return*, *global*, *pass*, or *raise*.

   If *rename* is true, invalid fieldnames are automatically replaced
   with positional names.  For example, "['abc', 'def', 'ghi', 'abc']"
   is converted to "['abc', '_1', 'ghi', '_3']", eliminating the
   keyword "def" and the duplicate fieldname "abc".

   If *verbose* is true, the class definition is printed after it is
   built.  This option is outdated; instead, it is simpler to print
   the "_source" attribute.

   If *module* is defined, the "__module__" attribute of the named
   tuple is set to that value.

   Named tuple instances do not have per-instance dictionaries, so
   they are lightweight and require no more memory than regular
   tuples.

   Alterado na versão 3.1: Added support for *rename*.

   Alterado na versão 3.6: The *verbose* and *rename* parameters
   became keyword-only arguments.

   Alterado na versão 3.6: Added the *module* parameter.

   >>> # Basic example
   >>> Point = namedtuple('Point', ['x', 'y'])
   >>> p = Point(11, y=22)     # instantiate with positional or keyword arguments
   >>> p[0] + p[1]             # indexable like the plain tuple (11, 22)
   33
   >>> x, y = p                # unpack like a regular tuple
   >>> x, y
   (11, 22)
   >>> p.x + p.y               # fields also accessible by name
   33
   >>> p                       # readable __repr__ with a name=value style
   Point(x=11, y=22)

Named tuples are especially useful for assigning field names to result
tuples returned by the "csv" or "sqlite3" modules:

   EmployeeRecord = namedtuple('EmployeeRecord', 'name, age, title, department, paygrade')

   import csv
   for emp in map(EmployeeRecord._make, csv.reader(open("employees.csv", "rb"))):
       print(emp.name, emp.title)

   import sqlite3
   conn = sqlite3.connect('/companydata')
   cursor = conn.cursor()
   cursor.execute('SELECT name, age, title, department, paygrade FROM employees')
   for emp in map(EmployeeRecord._make, cursor.fetchall()):
       print(emp.name, emp.title)

In addition to the methods inherited from tuples, named tuples support
three additional methods and two attributes.  To prevent conflicts
with field names, the method and attribute names start with an
underscore.

classmethod somenamedtuple._make(iterable)

   Class method that makes a new instance from an existing sequence or
   iterable.

      >>> t = [11, 22]
      >>> Point._make(t)
      Point(x=11, y=22)

somenamedtuple._asdict()

   Return a new "OrderedDict" which maps field names to their
   corresponding values:

      >>> p = Point(x=11, y=22)
      >>> p._asdict()
      OrderedDict([('x', 11), ('y', 22)])

   Alterado na versão 3.1: Returns an "OrderedDict" instead of a
   regular "dict".

somenamedtuple._replace(**kwargs)

   Return a new instance of the named tuple replacing specified fields
   with new values:

      >>> p = Point(x=11, y=22)
      >>> p._replace(x=33)
      Point(x=33, y=22)

      >>> for partnum, record in inventory.items():
      ...     inventory[partnum] = record._replace(price=newprices[partnum], timestamp=time.now())

somenamedtuple._source

   A string with the pure Python source code used to create the named
   tuple class.  The source makes the named tuple self-documenting. It
   can be printed, executed using "exec()", or saved to a file and
   imported.

   Novo na versão 3.3.

somenamedtuple._fields

   Tuple of strings listing the field names.  Useful for introspection
   and for creating new named tuple types from existing named tuples.

      >>> p._fields            # view the field names
      ('x', 'y')

      >>> Color = namedtuple('Color', 'red green blue')
      >>> Pixel = namedtuple('Pixel', Point._fields + Color._fields)
      >>> Pixel(11, 22, 128, 255, 0)
      Pixel(x=11, y=22, red=128, green=255, blue=0)

To retrieve a field whose name is stored in a string, use the
"getattr()" function:

>>> getattr(p, 'x')
11

To convert a dictionary to a named tuple, use the double-star-operator
(as described in Desempacotando listas de argumentos):

>>> d = {'x': 11, 'y': 22}
>>> Point(**d)
Point(x=11, y=22)

Since a named tuple is a regular Python class, it is easy to add or
change functionality with a subclass.  Here is how to add a calculated
field and a fixed-width print format:

   >>> class Point(namedtuple('Point', ['x', 'y'])):
   ...     __slots__ = ()
   ...     @property
   ...     def hypot(self):
   ...         return (self.x ** 2 + self.y ** 2) ** 0.5
   ...     def __str__(self):
   ...         return 'Point: x=%6.3f  y=%6.3f  hypot=%6.3f' % (self.x, self.y, self.hypot)

   >>> for p in Point(3, 4), Point(14, 5/7):
   ...     print(p)
   Point: x= 3.000  y= 4.000  hypot= 5.000
   Point: x=14.000  y= 0.714  hypot=14.018

The subclass shown above sets "__slots__" to an empty tuple.  This
helps keep memory requirements low by preventing the creation of
instance dictionaries.

Subclassing is not useful for adding new, stored fields.  Instead,
simply create a new named tuple type from the "_fields" attribute:

>>> Point3D = namedtuple('Point3D', Point._fields + ('z',))

Docstrings can be customized by making direct assignments to the
"__doc__" fields:

>>> Book = namedtuple('Book', ['id', 'title', 'authors'])
>>> Book.__doc__ += ': Hardcover book in active collection'
>>> Book.id.__doc__ = '13-digit ISBN'
>>> Book.title.__doc__ = 'Title of first printing'
>>> Book.authors.__doc__ = 'List of authors sorted by last name'

Alterado na versão 3.5: Property docstrings became writeable.

Default values can be implemented by using "_replace()" to customize a
prototype instance:

>>> Account = namedtuple('Account', 'owner balance transaction_count')
>>> default_account = Account('<owner name>', 0.0, 0)
>>> johns_account = default_account._replace(owner='John')
>>> janes_account = default_account._replace(owner='Jane')

    are being subclassed.

8.3.6. Objetos "OrderedDict"
============================

Ordered dictionaries are just like regular dictionaries but they
remember the order that items were inserted.  When iterating over an
ordered dictionary, the items are returned in the order their keys
were first added.

class collections.OrderedDict([items])

   Return an instance of a dict subclass, supporting the usual "dict"
   methods.  An *OrderedDict* is a dict that remembers the order that
   keys were first inserted. If a new entry overwrites an existing
   entry, the original insertion position is left unchanged.  Deleting
   an entry and reinserting it will move it to the end.

   Novo na versão 3.1.

   popitem(last=True)

      The "popitem()" method for ordered dictionaries returns and
      removes a (key, value) pair.  The pairs are returned in LIFO
      (last-in, first-out) order if *last* is true or FIFO (first-in,
      first-out) order if false.

   move_to_end(key, last=True)

      Move an existing *key* to either end of an ordered dictionary.
      The item is moved to the right end if *last* is true (the
      default) or to the beginning if *last* is false.  Raises
      "KeyError" if the *key* does not exist:

         >>> d = OrderedDict.fromkeys('abcde')
         >>> d.move_to_end('b')
         >>> ''.join(d.keys())
         'acdeb'
         >>> d.move_to_end('b', last=False)
         >>> ''.join(d.keys())
         'bacde'

      Novo na versão 3.2.

In addition to the usual mapping methods, ordered dictionaries also
support reverse iteration using "reversed()".

Equality tests between "OrderedDict" objects are order-sensitive and
are implemented as "list(od1.items())==list(od2.items())". Equality
tests between "OrderedDict" objects and other "Mapping" objects are
order-insensitive like regular dictionaries.  This allows
"OrderedDict" objects to be substituted anywhere a regular dictionary
is used.

Alterado na versão 3.5: The items, keys, and values *views* of
"OrderedDict" now support reverse iteration using "reversed()".

Alterado na versão 3.6: With the acceptance of **PEP 468**, order is
retained for keyword arguments passed to the "OrderedDict" constructor
and its "update()" method.


8.3.6.1. "OrderedDict" Examples and Recipes
-------------------------------------------

Since an ordered dictionary remembers its insertion order, it can be
used in conjunction with sorting to make a sorted dictionary:

   >>> # regular unsorted dictionary
   >>> d = {'banana': 3, 'apple': 4, 'pear': 1, 'orange': 2}

   >>> # dictionary sorted by key
   >>> OrderedDict(sorted(d.items(), key=lambda t: t[0]))
   OrderedDict([('apple', 4), ('banana', 3), ('orange', 2), ('pear', 1)])

   >>> # dictionary sorted by value
   >>> OrderedDict(sorted(d.items(), key=lambda t: t[1]))
   OrderedDict([('pear', 1), ('orange', 2), ('banana', 3), ('apple', 4)])

   >>> # dictionary sorted by length of the key string
   >>> OrderedDict(sorted(d.items(), key=lambda t: len(t[0])))
   OrderedDict([('pear', 1), ('apple', 4), ('orange', 2), ('banana', 3)])

The new sorted dictionaries maintain their sort order when entries are
deleted.  But when new keys are added, the keys are appended to the
end and the sort is not maintained.

It is also straight-forward to create an ordered dictionary variant
that remembers the order the keys were *last* inserted. If a new entry
overwrites an existing entry, the original insertion position is
changed and moved to the end:

   class LastUpdatedOrderedDict(OrderedDict):
       'Store items in the order the keys were last added'

       def __setitem__(self, key, value):
           if key in self:
               del self[key]
           OrderedDict.__setitem__(self, key, value)

An ordered dictionary can be combined with the "Counter" class so that
the counter remembers the order elements are first encountered:

   class OrderedCounter(Counter, OrderedDict):
       'Counter that remembers the order elements are first encountered'

       def __repr__(self):
           return '%s(%r)' % (self.__class__.__name__, OrderedDict(self))

       def __reduce__(self):
           return self.__class__, (OrderedDict(self),)


8.3.7. "UserDict" objects
=========================

The class, "UserDict" acts as a wrapper around dictionary objects. The
need for this class has been partially supplanted by the ability to
subclass directly from "dict"; however, this class can be easier to
work with because the underlying dictionary is accessible as an
attribute.

class collections.UserDict([initialdata])

   Class that simulates a dictionary.  The instance's contents are
   kept in a regular dictionary, which is accessible via the "data"
   attribute of "UserDict" instances.  If *initialdata* is provided,
   "data" is initialized with its contents; note that a reference to
   *initialdata* will not be kept, allowing it be used for other
   purposes.

   In addition to supporting the methods and operations of mappings,
   "UserDict" instances provide the following attribute:

   data

      A real dictionary used to store the contents of the "UserDict"
      class.


8.3.8. "UserList" objects
=========================

This class acts as a wrapper around list objects.  It is a useful base
class for your own list-like classes which can inherit from them and
override existing methods or add new ones.  In this way, one can add
new behaviors to lists.

The need for this class has been partially supplanted by the ability
to subclass directly from "list"; however, this class can be easier to
work with because the underlying list is accessible as an attribute.

class collections.UserList([list])

   Class that simulates a list.  The instance's contents are kept in a
   regular list, which is accessible via the "data" attribute of
   "UserList" instances.  The instance's contents are initially set to
   a copy of *list*, defaulting to the empty list "[]".  *list* can be
   any iterable, for example a real Python list or a "UserList"
   object.

   In addition to supporting the methods and operations of mutable
   sequences, "UserList" instances provide the following attribute:

   data

      A real "list" object used to store the contents of the
      "UserList" class.

**Subclassing requirements:** Subclasses of "UserList" are expected to
offer a constructor which can be called with either no arguments or
one argument.  List operations which return a new sequence attempt to
create an instance of the actual implementation class.  To do so, it
assumes that the constructor can be called with a single parameter,
which is a sequence object used as a data source.

If a derived class does not wish to comply with this requirement, all
of the special methods supported by this class will need to be
overridden; please consult the sources for information about the
methods which need to be provided in that case.


8.3.9. "UserString" objects
===========================

The class, "UserString" acts as a wrapper around string objects. The
need for this class has been partially supplanted by the ability to
subclass directly from "str"; however, this class can be easier to
work with because the underlying string is accessible as an attribute.

class collections.UserString([sequence])

   Class that simulates a string or a Unicode string object.  The
   instance's content is kept in a regular string object, which is
   accessible via the "data" attribute of "UserString" instances.  The
   instance's contents are initially set to a copy of *sequence*.  The
   *sequence* can be an instance of "bytes", "str", "UserString" (or a
   subclass) or an arbitrary sequence which can be converted into a
   string using the built-in "str()" function.

   Alterado na versão 3.5: New methods "__getnewargs__", "__rmod__",
   "casefold", "format_map", "isprintable", and "maketrans".
