Rapid fast RLP serialization / deserialization for Python.
As the name suggest, rusty-rlp is written in Rust and based on the battle-tested, MIT-licensed
rlp implementation that is also used by OpenEthereum.
from rusty_rlp import decode_raw, encode_raw
encoded = encode_raw(b'some_string')
decoded = decode_raw(encoded)The library exposes a pure Python API and all tests are implemented in python_tests.py
Run the tests:
make test
Note: There do exists some tests implemented in Rust that can be run with cargo tests but those do not test this library but the underlying rlp library instead. They exist merely to prove some assumptions about the underlying library.
We provide some benchmarks against pyrlp.
