uheapq – heap queue algorithm

This module implements a subset of the corresponding CPython module, as described below. For more information, refer to the original CPython documentation: heapq.

This module implements the min heap queue algorithm.

A heap queue is essentially a list that has its elements stored in such a way that the first item of the list is always the smallest.

Functions

uheapq.heappush(heap, item)

Push the item onto the heap.

uheapq.heappop(heap)

Pop the first item from the heap, and return it. Raise IndexError if heap is empty.

The returned item will be the smallest item in the heap.

uheapq.heapify(x)

Convert the list x into a heap. This is an in-place operation.
