Customising Encoding

Serialisation of Odin resources is handled by a customised :pymsgpack.Packer. Additional data types can be appended to the :pyodin.codecs.msgpack_codec.TYPE_SERIALIZERS dictionary.

Example usage

Loading a resource from a file:

from odin.codecs import msgpack_codec

with open('my_resource.msgp') as f:
    resource = msgpack_codec.load(f)
