Readma? What's Readma?

Readma? What's Readma?

Readma is a binary stream reading library I made for fun that I decided I would extend on and release

Well, what does it do?

Well I'm glad you asked!

Readma is a little library I started to help with parsing binary files.

That's it?

Well yeah, what did you expect? Some large module I've been writing my entire life that will change the world with its amazing binary reading ability?

Usage

Note, requires Python 3.8 or higher (For now at least)

Installation

pip install readma

Sample code

from readma import Readma

# Let's say this file contains in order:
# - An integer
# - An unsigned integer
# - A float
# - A string prefixed by its length with a byte
# - An unknown amount of data you just really need read
r = Readma("some_file.bin") # note: defaults to Little Endian

integer = r.read(4) # size in bytes
unsigned_integer = r.uread(4)

a_float = r.float()

length = r.read(1)
string = r.bytes(length)

important_data = r.readall()

Example of ways to do the same action

from readma import Readma, ReadmaTypes

r = Readma(b"AAAABBBBCCCCDDDD")

A = r.read(4)  # Reads a 32 bit (4 byte) integer
B = r.read("int")  # this also reads a 32 bit int
C = r.read(ReadmaTypes.int)  # someone might prefer this idk
D = r.bytes(4)  # its a bytestring, do whatever with it
