Fast, safe and thoroughly tested implementation of bencode in pure Python
3, without any C extension.
This is called flatbencode because the algorithm for decoding a bencode
structure is non-recursive, thus preventing RuntimeException.
>>> from flatbencode import encode, decode
>>> encode({b'foo': [b'bar', 1]})
b'd3:fool3:bari1eee'
>>> decode(b'ldei0e0:e')
[OrderedDict(), 0, b'']$ pip install pytest hypothesis $ py.test -v
- Do not accept strings as dictionary keys [Antoine Catton]
- Raise an exception when there's still data left. [Tim Ruffing, #2]
- Use bytes as python dictionary keys (instead of strings) [Tim Ruffing, #2]
- Sort dictionary keys when serializing (follows the BEP-0003) [Antoine Catton]
- Initial release.
- Can decode bencoding into a python datastructure.
- Can encode a python datastructure into bencoding serialization format.
