ipld 0.0.1

An IPLD implementation in Python

py-ipld

Python implementation of the IPLD specification.

Status

This is a Work-in-Progress. For TODOs, see: #1

Installation

$ pip install ipld  # (not yet)

Usage

In the Python REPL:

>>> from ipld import marshal, multihash, unmarshal
>>>
>>> file = {
... 'name': 'hello.txt',
... 'size': 11
... }
>>>
>>> marshalled = marshal(file)
>>>
>>> multihash(marshalled)
'QmQtX5JVbRa25LmQ1LHFChkXWW5GaWrp7JpymN4oPuBSmL'
>>>
>>> unmarshal(marshal(file)) == file
True

That’s it. No readthedocs, no private methods :boom:.

Tests
