Usage

API

The API consists of one load() method, which reads blueprint metadata from the given binary file-like object and returns the parsed data as a dictionary.

import parkitect_blueprint_reader
from pprint import pprint

try:
    with open('coaster.png', 'rb') as fp: # Note it's opened in binary mode
        pprint(
            parkitect_blueprint_reader.load(fp)
        )
except Exception as e:
    print(e)

CLI

The CLI reads metadata from the given blueprint filename, then writes the parsed data as a JSON to stdout.
