Implementation of bencode with optional fast C extensions
Project description
fastbencode
fastbencode is an implementation of the bencode serialization format originally used by BitTorrent.
The package includes both a pure-Python version and an optional C extension based on Cython. Both provide the same functionality, but the C extension provides significantly better performance.
Example:
>>> from fastbencode import bencode, bdecode >>> bencode([1, 2, b'a', {b'd': 3}]) b'li1ei2e1:ad1:di3eee' >>> bdecode(bencode([1, 2, b'a', {b'd': 3}])) [1, 2, b'a', {b'd': 3}]
License
fastbencode is available under the GNU GPL, version 2 or later.
