packel 1.0.0

Packet serialization/deserialization in a Pythonic way.

päckel

Network protocol library. Handles packet serialization/deserialization in a Pythonic way.

Usage

• Define a basic protocol :

import packel

class Ping(packel.Packet):
    text = packel.String()

class Pong(packel.Packet):
    is_hello = packel.Boolean()

protocol = packel.Protocol([Ping, Pong])

• Use it to serialize and deserialize data :

request = Ping(text='hello')
serialized_bytes = protocol.serialize(request)

# ...

packet = protocol.deserialize(serialized_bytes)
if isinstance(packet, Ping):
    is_hello = packet.text == 'hello'
    response = Pong(is_hello=is_hello)
    # ...
