Fusion Solutions message packer

Fusion Solutions message packer

Introduction

Message packer for socket communications. Pure-Python implementation and it is much slower as pickle, marshal or even json, but much safer for production. The following types are supported for packing and unpacking:

• None
• bool
• int
• float
• string
• bytearray (during unpacking it will be converted to bytes)
• bytes
• list (during unpacking it will be converted to tuple)
• tuple
• dict (dict key type can be any from this list)
• set (full support)
