The IntervalTree module in Python provides a data structure called IntervalTree, which is a tree-like structure designed to efficiently store and query intervals. An interval in this context represents a range of values, such as time periods, genomic regions, or any other type of continuous range.
The IntervalTree allows for efficient insertion, deletion, and searching of intervals, making it useful for tasks such as interval overlap detection, interval containment, and finding all intervals that intersect with a given query interval. It supports various operations like searching for any overlapping interval, finding all intervals completely contained within a given interval, and searching for any interval that contains a specific point.
This module provides a simple and intuitive interface to work with intervals, allowing developers to easily incorporate interval-based computations and analyses into their Python projects.
