# Pyben v0.2.1

Small library for encoding/decoding bencode data. Pyben Enables fast and easy encoding and decoding of bencoded data.


  

## Prerequisites

• Python3 installed and enabled

## Installing PyBen

To install PyBen, follow these steps:

Using pip:

`bash pip install pyben `

Using git:

`cmd git clone https://github.com/alexpdev/pyben.git `

## Using PyBen

The API is intentionally designed to mimic Python’s json module.

`python >>> fd = "path/to/file" >>> data = {"item1": ["item2", 3, [4], {5: "item6"}]} >>> encoded = pyben.dumps(data) >>> encoded b'd5:item1l5:item2i3eli4eedi5e5:item6eee' >>> decoded = pyben.loads(encoded) {'item1': ['item2', 3, [4], {5: 'item6'}]} `

One key difference is that the ‘load’ and ‘dump’ methods accept as arguments, string paths or path objects as well as open iobuffer.

For Example this:

`python >> with open("encoded.file", "wb") as fd: ... pyben.dump(data, fd) >> with open("encoded.file", "rb") as fd: ... decoded = pyben.load(fd) `

is the same as doing following.

`python >>> pyben.dump(data, "encoded.file") >>> decoded = pyben.load("encoded.file") `

The full API includes many other functions and classes as well. See docs for more full API.
