To Install

$ pip install tpfd

Notes

Any format spec supported by parse is supported by this library since it’s all parse under the hood. Example: {[field name]:[format spec]}

Current Features

• Support for parsing text files

• Support for accepting generators that output text or ints

• Support for parsing unicode strings

• Supports parsing strings, ints and interator/generator’s automagically with new parse method.

TODO

• Expose custom types functionality that Parse already offers
