asq
is simple implementation of a LINQ-inspired API for Python which operates over Python iterables, including a parallel version implemented in terms of the Python standard library multiprocessing module.
asq
is a package implementing queries over iterables of Python objects. asq provides a fluent interface making extensive use of method chaining to create complex queries without compromising readability. For example, to take the first five uppercased results from a list of words sorted by length and then alphabetically, try:
>>> from asq import query
>>> words = ["zero", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine", "ten"]
>>> query(words).order_by(len).then_by().take(5).select(str.upper).to_list()
['ONE', 'SIX', 'TEN', 'TWO', 'FIVE']
Over 40 standard query operators are provided together with various utilities to make the API even more convenient to use in Python.
Of course, there is full Narrative and reference documentation for asq
