Features

--------



- Mature: Depended on by

  Google, Venmo, CERN, Baidu, Tencent,

  and teams across the world since 2009



- Familiar, Pythonic APIs

  that are carefully designed for

  safety, simplicity, flexibility, and ergonomics



- Lightweight, with no runtime dependencies

  outside Python's standard library



- Implemented in

  concise, well-factored, fully type-hinted Python code

  that is optimized for running efficiently

  as well as for long-term maintenance and stability

  (as well as `joy <#learning-from-bidict>`__)



- Extensively `documented `__



- 100% test coverage

  running continuously across all supported Python versions

  (including property-based tests and benchmarks)



Installation

------------



``pip install bidict``



Quick Start

-----------



.. code:: python



   >>> from bidict import bidict

   >>> element_by_symbol = bidict({'H': 'hydrogen'})

   >>> element_by_symbol['H']

   'hydrogen'

   >>> element_by_symbol.inverse['hydrogen']

   'H'



For more usage documentation,

head to the :doc:`intro` [#fn-intro]_

and proceed from there.



Enterprise Support

------------------



Enterprise-level support for bidict can be obtained via the

`Tidelift subscription `__

or by `contacting me directly `__.



I have a US-based LLC set up for invoicing,

and I have 15+ years of professional experience

delivering software and support to companies successfully.



You can also sponsor my work through several platforms, including GitHub Sponsors.

See the `Sponsoring <#sponsoring>`__ section below for details,

including rationale and examples of companies

supporting the open source projects they depend on.



Voluntary Community Support

---------------------------



Please search through already-asked questions and answers

in `GitHub Discussions `__

and the `issue tracker `__

in case your question has already been addressed.



Otherwise, please feel free to

`start a new discussion `__

or `create a new issue `__ on GitHub,

or ask in the `bidict chatroom `__

for voluntary community support.



Notice of Usage

---------------



If you use bidict,

and especially if your usage or your organization is significant in some way,

please let me know in any of the following ways:



- `star bidict on GitHub `__

- post in `GitHub Discussions `__

- leave a message in the `chat room `__

- `email me `__



Changelog

---------



For bidict release notes, see the :doc:`changelog`. [#fn-changelog]_



Release Notifications

---------------------



.. duplicated in CHANGELOG.rst:

   (Would use `.. include::` but GitHub's renderer doesn't support it.)



Watch `bidict releases on GitHub `__

to be notified when new versions of bidict are published.

Click the "Watch" dropdown, choose "Custom", and then choose "Releases".



Learning from bidict

--------------------



One of the best things about bidict

is that it touches a surprising number of

interesting Python corners,

especially given its small size and scope.



Check out :doc:`learning-from-bidict` [#fn-learning]_

if you're interested in learning more.



Contributing

------------



I have been bidict's sole maintainer

and `active contributor `__

since I started the project ~15 years ago.



Your help would be most welcome!

See the :doc:`contributors-guide` [#fn-contributing]_

for more information.



Sponsoring

----------



.. duplicated in CONTRIBUTING.rst

   (Would use `.. include::` but GitHub's renderer doesn't support it.)



.. image:: https://img.shields.io/badge/GitHub-sponsor-ff69b4

  :target: https://github.com/sponsors/jab

  :alt: Sponsor through GitHub



Bidict is the product of thousands of hours of my unpaid work

over the 15+ years that I've been the sole maintainer.



If bidict has helped you or your company accomplish your work,

please sponsor my work through one of the following,

and/or ask your company to do the same:



- `GitHub `__

- `PayPal `__

- `Tidelift `__

- `thanks.dev `__

- `Gumroad `__

- `a support engagement with my LLC <#enterprise-support>`__



If you're not sure which to use, GitHub is an easy option,

especially if you already have a GitHub account.

Just choose a monthly or one-time amount, and GitHub handles everything else.

Your bidict sponsorship on GitHub will automatically go

on the same regular bill as any other GitHub charges you pay for.

PayPal is another easy option for one-time contributions.

supporting the open source projects they depend on

that can't render and link this documentation properly

and are seeing broken links,
