HackyList

class HackyList()

Bases: list

HackyList is a subclass of Python’s built-in list that allows arbitrary attribute assignment. It exists to support use cases where a list-like structure is required but needs to carry additional metadata or auxiliary attributes, which native Python lists do not allow.

This class is used to return a list like object for sublevel edges from _locate_sublevel_transitions to return edges and attatch extra information along with it i.e. sublevel heights.

Example usage:

>>> hl = HackyList([1, 2, 3])
>>> hl.heights = [1.2, 4.1, 0.1]
>>> hl.extra = {}
>>> print(hl, hl.heights, hl.extra)
[1, 2, 3] [1.2, 4.1, 0.1] {}
