lil-buff-writer 0.1.0

Buffer writing utility package

lil_buff_writer

A simple writing utility for storing and retrieving messages.

Messages are formated as such <name: bytes>/<size: u32><content: bytes>

Instead of writing out many files, you can pack them into one file. Writing out a stream of messages to a single blob allows you to write to a single destination instead of searching for files later.

Features

• Write messages to a file with labeled names and content.
• Parse each of the messages from a stream.

Installation

pip install lil_buff_writer

Usage

Writing Messages

from lil_buff_writer import write_messages

messages = [(b"greeting", b"Hello, World!"), (b"farewell", b"Goodbye!")]
await write_messages(messages, "messages.dat")

Reading Messages

from lil_buff_writer import read_messages

with open("messages.dat", "rb") as f:
    for name, content in read_messages(f):
        print(f"{name.decode()}: {content.decode()}")
