geckolibs 0.0.4

Python library for working with the Gecko Code format for Wii/GC

geckocode-libs

Python library for parsing and editing Gecko Codes for the Wii/GCN

Installation

pip install geckolibs

Usage

With geckocode-libs, file parsing is simple to do.

You can read a textual codelist into a GeckoCodeTable using the method GeckoCodeTable.from_text(our_text), which automatically detects the type of codelist being read and handles all the dirty work for you! This returns a new GeckoCodeTable object.

You can also read a raw codelist from a GCT using the method GeckoCodeTable.from_bytes(our_bytes), which parses the raw bytes given to the method into a new GeckoCodeTable object.

When you are done editing your GCT, you can convert the object back into a codelist, text, or raw data using the methods GeckoCodeTable.as_codelist(codelist_type), GeckoCodeTable.as_text(), and GeckoCodeTable.as_bytes() respectively.

You can also create your own codes using the library itself, an example shown here:

gct = GeckoCodeTable()                      # Empty GCT
code = GeckoCode("Our awesome code", "Me")  # Empty GeckoCode named "Our awesome code", created by "Me"
command = Write32(0x60000000, 0x80231480)   # Individual command

code.add_child(command)                     # Add a command to the code
gct.add_child(code)                         # Add a code to the GCT

Type checking of codes can be done in 3 ways:

code = Write8(69, 0x80203932)

code == Write8                              # True
code.codetype == Write8.codetype            # True
code.codetype == GeckoCommand.Type.WRITE_8  # True

It should be noted that in order to check multiple codetypes at once, code.codetype should be used.
