bioware-kaitai-formats
Installable Python package containing Kaitai Struct–generated parsers for BioWare / KotOR binary and text-derived formats.
Canonical .ksy specifications live in the upstream repository: OldRepublicDevs/bioware-kaitai-formats. This PyKotor workspace copy vendors the generated Python under src/bioware_kaitai_formats/ so consumers (PyKotor, KotorBlender, etc.) depend on this package instead of copying parsers into each project.
Install
From the PyKotor monorepo (workspace):
uv sync --all-packages --all-extras
From PyPI (once published):
pip install bioware-kaitai-formats
Regenerating Python from .ksy
- Clone or sync the upstream spec tree (for example
vendor/bioware-kaitai-formatswith all.ksyfiles). - Install a Kaitai Struct compiler (0.11.x matches this tree).
- Run:
uv run python scripts/regenerate_python.py --ksy-root PATH_TO_KSY_DIR
Optional:
--ksc— path tokaitai-struct-compiler(or.baton Windows); otherwisekaitai-struct-compilermust be onPATH.--repo-root— root of this package (defaults to the directory containingpyproject.toml).
The script compiles into src/bioware_kaitai_formats/, then runs post-processing (relative imports, URL scrub) so the tree matches packaging expectations.
Versioning
Keep this package version aligned with PyKotor releases when wire layouts change. Patch bumps for regenerated-only updates; minor bumps when new specs are added.
Publishing to PyPI
Before uploading a new pykotor release that lists bioware-kaitai-formats>=0.1.0, publish this package (same version or compatible range) to PyPI so plain pip install pykotor resolves the dependency. Monorepo consumers continue to use the workspace member via uv sync.
