python-unpacky

Easily unpack binary data into a dict.

Example

Pattern that allows you to unpack HL2 server info...

>>> pattern = (
...         "{byte:header}{byte_int:protocol}{string:name}{string:map}{string:folder}{string:game}"
...         "{short:id}{byte_int:players}{byte_int:max_players}{byte_int:bots}"
...         "{byte:server_type}{byte:environment}"
...         "{byte_int:visibility}{byte_bool:vac}"
... )
