### What is it?

- A set which doesn't require hashable contents


### Why create it?

- I often have a need to store non-hashable contents in a set. For example
storing a dict isn't possible with the builtin set.

```py
# doesn't work
someDict = { "key": "value" }
someSet = { someDict }
```


### Simple usage

```py
from all_purpose_set import ApSet

someDict = { "key": "value" }
someSet = ApSet([someDict])

print(someDict in someSet) # prints True
```

### Api

*Note: This api is young and subject to change quite a bit. There also may be
functionality present in the builtin set which this set doesn't cover. I'm
willing to add it so please just raise a github issue or PR with details.*

#### class ApSet([a list])
- all methods return `self` unless specified otherwise
- iterates in the order of insertion
- currently the internal methods implemented are
- \_\_contains\_\_
- \_\_iter\_\_
- \_\_len\_\_

##### add(something)

##### clear()

##### has(something) => bool
- a function alternative to `key in aSet`

##### remove(something)
- raises a `KeyError` if the element doesn't exist


### Test

```sh
#
# you must have poetry installed
#
$ poetry shell
$ poetry install
$ python runTests.py
```
