A *persistent data structure* is defined as a data structure that preserves the previous version of the data when the data is modified. Such data structures are effectively *immutable*, as operations on them do not update the structure in-place, but instead always yield a new updated structure (see [0]_ for more details.)
You might want to find another term for this -- it's very different from what "persistent data structure" usually means (i.e. something that gets saved to a file or database with some degree of automagicness). -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/VFQ4HF2GZJBTAHWIW6JDXZHEF4MJYA3L/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
