python-fastbencode 0.0.7
Python Bencode (de)serializer with optional fast C extensions
The fastbencode Python package implements the bencode serialization format for storing and transmitting loosely structured data, originally used by BitTorrent.
The format can encode four different types of values: byte strings, integers, lists, and dictionaries (associative arrays). It's simple and unaffected by endianness,
This package includes both a pure-Python version and an optional C extension based on Cython. Both provide the same functionality, but the C version has significantly better performance.
