A **blazing-fast**, **enterprise-grade** Python queue system with optional **native C backend** support. UltraQueue delivers exceptional performance for high-throughput applications with built-in persistence, encryption, and multi-threading capabilities.

## 🧠 What Makes UltraQueue Unique?

**UltraQueue is a hybrid queue system** that keeps data in memory (RAM) for ultra-fast access and automatically offloads to disk (storage) when memory is full — ensuring scalability and crash-safe reliability. Unlike traditional queues that are either memory-only or disk-only, UltraQueue intelligently manages both to give you the best of both worlds.

## ✨ Key Features

- 🔥 **Ultra-High Performance**: Up to 10x faster than standard Python queues
- ⚡ **Dual Backend Support**: Pure Python (deque) and optimized C backend
- 🔒 **Built-in Encryption**: AES-256 encryption with Fernet for secure data storage
- 💾 **Automatic Persistence**: Auto-save with configurable intervals and compression
- 🧵 **Thread & Process Safe**: Full multiprocessing and threading support
- 📊 **Memory Management**: Configurable memory limits and intelligent overflow handling
- 🔧 **Easy Integration**: Drop-in replacement for standard Python queues
- 🛡️ **Production Ready**: Comprehensive error handling and logging

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
pip install shohanc
```

### Basic Usage

```python
from shohanc.collections import UltraQueue

# Create a basic queue
queue = UltraQueue()

# Push items
queue.push("Hello")
queue.push("World")

# Pop items
item = queue.pop()  # Returns "Hello"
print(f"Popped: {item}")

# Check queue length
print(f"Queue size: {len(queue)}")
```

### Advanced Usage with Persistence & Encryption

```python
from shohanc.collections import UltraQueue

# Create queue with persistence and encryption
queue = UltraQueue(
    save_path="my_queue.dat",
    encryption_key="my_secret_password",
    max_mem_items=50000,
    auto_persist_interval=5,
    use_ultraqueue=True,  # Use C backend for maximum performance
    logging_enabled=True
)

# Batch operations for high performance
items = [f"item_{i}" for i in range(1000)]
queue.push_batch(items)

# Pop multiple items at once
batch = queue.pop_batch(100)
print(f"Retrieved {len(batch)} items")

# Context manager support
with UltraQueue(save_path="temp_queue.dat") as q:
    q.push("auto-saved on exit")
    # Queue automatically saves and cleans up
```

## 📚 API Reference

### Constructor Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `save_path` | `str` | `None` | File path for persistent storage |
| `max_mem_items` | `int` | `100000` | Maximum items in memory before overflow |
| `encryption_key` | `str/bytes` | `None` | Password or Fernet key for encryption |

### Core Methods

#### `push(item: str) -> None`
Add a single item to the queue.

```python
queue.push("my_item")
```

#### `pop() -> Optional[str]`
Remove and return the next item from the queue.

```python
item = queue.pop()  # Returns None if queue is empty
```

#### `push_batch(items: List[str]) -> None`
Add multiple items efficiently.

```python
queue.push_batch(["item1", "item2", "item3"])
```

#### `pop_batch(n: int) -> List[str]`
Remove and return up to n items.

```python
items = queue.pop_batch(10)  # Get up to 10 items
```

#### `length() -> int` / `len(queue)`
Get the current queue size.

```python
size = len(queue)
# or
size = queue.length()
```

#### `save(path: Optional[str] = None, encryption_key: Optional[bytes] = None)`
Manually save queue to disk.

```python
queue.save("backup.dat", encryption_key=b"custom_key")
```

## 🔧 Advanced Features

### Encryption Support

UltraQueue supports both password-based and key-based encryption:

```python
# Password-based encryption (recommended)
queue = UltraQueue(
    save_path="encrypted_queue.dat",
    encryption_key="my_strong_password"
)

# Direct Fernet key
from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
key = Fernet.generate_key()
queue = UltraQueue(
    save_path="secure_queue.dat",
    encryption_key=key
)
```

⚠️ **Critical Warning**: If the encryption key is incorrect during loading, the queue will fail to decrypt, and you may get an empty or corrupted result. Always store your key securely and validate before saving! Lost encryption keys mean **permanent data loss**.

### Memory Management

Configure memory limits and behavior:

```python
queue = UltraQueue(
    max_mem_items=10000,  # Keep only 10K items in memory
    save_path="overflow.dat"  # Overflow to disk
)
```

### Logging and Monitoring

```python
queue = UltraQueue(logging_enabled=True)

# Or control dynamically
queue.enable_logging()
queue.disable_logging()
```

## 🏗️ Architecture

### Hybrid RAM + Disk Model

UltraQueue uses an intelligent **hybrid storage approach**:

1. **Hot Data in RAM**: Recently accessed items stay in memory for lightning-fast access
2. **Automatic Overflow**: When memory limit is reached, older items are compressed and moved to disk
3. **Seamless Access**: The queue automatically fetches from disk when needed - transparent to your code
4. **Crash Safety**: All operations are safely persisted, so you never lose data even during unexpected shutdowns

```python
# Configure the hybrid behavior
queue = UltraQueue(
    max_mem_items=50000,     # Keep 50K items in RAM
    save_path="queue.dat",   # Overflow and persistence file
    auto_persist_interval=5  # Save every 5 seconds
)

# The queue automatically manages RAM/disk - you just push/pop normally!
for i in range(100000):      # This will use both RAM and disk
    queue.push(f"item_{i}")
```

### Pure Python Backend
- Built on `collections.deque` for optimal performance
- Thread-safe with multiprocessing locks
- Automatic compression with zlib
- Pickle-based serialization

### C Backend (Optional)
- Native C implementation for maximum speed
- Memory-mapped file operations
- Lock-free data structures where possible
- Minimal Python overhead

## 🔄 Migration Guide

### From Python's `queue.Queue`

```python
# Before
import queue
q = queue.Queue()
q.put("item")
item = q.get()

# After
from shohanc.collections import UltraQueue
q = UltraQueue()
q.push("item")
item = q.pop()
```

### From `collections.deque`

```python
# Before
from collections import deque
q = deque()
q.append("item")
item = q.popleft()

# After
from shohanc.collections import UltraQueue
q = UltraQueue()
q.push("item")
item = q.pop()
```

# Install from PyPI
pip install shohanc

# Install with development dependencies
pip install shohanc[dev]
```

### For Developers
```bash
# Clone and install in development mode
git clone https://github.com/Shohan/Shohanc-pypi-libary.git
cd Shohanc-pypi-libary
pip install -e .

# Run tests
python -m pytest tests/ -v

# Build for distribution
python -m build
python -m twine upload dist/*
```

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### C Backend Not Loading
```python
from shohanc import UltraQueue
queue = UltraQueue(use_ultraqueue=True)
# Check if C backend is available
print(f"Using C backend: {queue.use_ultraqueue}")

# If False, ensure the .dll/.so file is in the correct location
```

### Encryption Errors
Ensure your encryption key is consistent:
```python
# Wrong - will fail on reload
queue1 = UltraQueue(encryption_key="password1")
queue2 = UltraQueue(encryption_key="password2")  # Different key!

# Correct
key = "consistent_password"
queue1 = UltraQueue(encryption_key=key)
queue2 = UltraQueue(encryption_key=key)
```

### Memory Issues
If you're running out of memory:
```python
# Reduce memory footprint
queue = UltraQueue(
    max_mem_items=10000,      # Lower memory limit
    save_path="overflow.dat", # Enable disk overflow
    auto_persist_interval=2   # Save more frequently
)
```

### Performance Optimization
```python
# For maximum performance
queue = UltraQueue(
    use_ultraqueue=True,      # Enable C backend
    save_path=None,          # Disable persistence if not needed
    logging_enabled=False,   # Disable logging overhead
    max_mem_items=1000000    # Higher memory limit
)
```
