It cannot create DAWGs itself; instead, it reads files built by the dawgdic C++ library or the DAWG Python extension module. The main value proposition is providing DAWG access without requiring compiled extensions, making it portable and fast under PyPy.\n\nThe package implements several DAWG variants (DAWG, BytesDAWG, RecordDAWG, IntDAWG, IntCompletionDAWG) and supports operations like membership testing, prefix enumeration, and key/value iteration. It is API-compatible with the DAWG package where possible. Performance under CPython is significantly slower than native implementations, but PyPy execution is competitive for many workloads.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you have pre-built DAWG files and need pure-Python access without C extensions. No, if you need active maintenance or Python 3.5+ support\u2014the package is dormant and classifiers only declare support through Python 3.4. Suitable for legacy systems or PyPy-based deployments where the DAWG format is already in use."},"id":"dawg-python","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dawg-python","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dawg-python.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/dawg-python/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2015-04-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"DAWG-Python","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Pure-python reader for DAWGs (DAFSAs) created by dawgdic C++ library or DAWG Python extension."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":219943,"position":9318,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.7.2"}
