seff 1.0

A compact and efficient binary file serializer and deserializer for Python dictionaries.

This package provides a high-performance solution to reading and writing Python dictionaries to and from binary files. The main advantage over JSON or other text-based serialization formats is its compactness and speed, which can be a crucial factor when working with large data sets.

The package provides two main methods, write and read, to write a Python dictionary or list of dictionaries to a file and read it back. It intelligently manages the type mapping during serialization and deserialization to ensure type consistency.

The write method writes a dictionary (or a list of dictionaries) to a binary file. It automatically handles different data types including int, float, and str. The read method reads a binary file and reconstructs the dictionary. The package also provides support functions to deal with file operations.

This package is designed to be easy-to-use, lightweight and efficient, and is particularly suitable for applications that require handling large amounts of data or high-speed I/O operations.
