hexagonit.swfheader 1.2

Usage

Using the parser is very simple, simply call the hexagonit.swfheader.parse function and call it with either a filesystem path or a file-like object.

>>> import hexagonit.swfheader
>>> metadata = hexagonit.swfheader.parse(TEST_SWF)
>>> pprint(metadata)

 'size': 153,
 'version': 5,
 'width': 550,
 'xmax': 550,
 'xmin': 0,
