I recently learned about Bloom filters (and was then able to fully understand the joke in this xkcd comic). While I don’t have a good application for them myself, I found them interesting enough to play around with a little.
Python uses them under the hood in a way that has some potential for other applications. In this post I’ll explain Bloom filter basics and go over some simple implementations.

Simple Tricks started late last year with a “project” post that may have been a misfire, though it’s possible I’ll do some other simple projects in the future (though my question is whether they’re really “simple tricks” — I’m not sure the first post in the series qualified).
Regardless, since then we’ve looked at Python comprehensions (see here and here), file handling techniques (see here and here), and function parameters (see here and here). This time we look at printing output with an emphasis on formatted output.
