hexprint 0.1

A simple utility Python module to visually work with bytes in a useful way

hexprint

The hexprint module provides functionality to display binary data in a hexdump format with optional coloring and highlighting. It also includes a function to compare and highlight differences between two sets of data, as well as a function to highlight specific sequences within the data.

Installation

You can install the hexprint module using pip:

pip install hexprint

Usage Examples

hexprint

The hexprint function is used to print binary data in a hexdump format. You can optionally specify colored and highlighted indices.

Basic example:

from hexprint import hexprint

data = b'This is an example'

# Print binary data in a hexdump format
hexprint(data)

An example including coloring:

from hexprint import hexprint

data = b'This is an example'

# Print binary data with colored and highlighted indices
colored_indices = {0: 'red', 5: 'green'}
highlighted_indices = {2: 'yellow', 8: 'blue'}
hexprint(data, colored_indices=colored_indices, highlighted_indices=highlighted_indices)

compare

The compare function is used to compare and print two sets of data in a hexdump-like format, highlighting the differences.

from hexprint import compare

data1 = b'This is the example!'
data2 = b'This was an example'

# Compare and print the differences between two sets of data
compare(data1, data2)

highlight

The highlight function is used to highlight specific sequences within binary data.

from hexprint import highlight

data = b'This is an example. This is another example.'

# Highlight specific sequences within the data
sequences = [b'This', b'another']
highlight(data, sequences=sequences)
