Pure Python X.690 implementation
Project description
Pure Python X.690 implementation
This module contains a pure Python implementation of the “x690” standard for BER encoding/decoding. Other encodings are currently unsupported but pull-requests are welcome.
Type Extensions
It allows defining and detecting new data-types by simply subclassing the base class x690.types.Type. An example for this can be seen in puresnmp
Examples
Encoding to bytes
Encoding to bytes can be done by simply calling the Python builting bytes() on instances from x690.types:
Encoding of a single value
import x690.types as t
>>> myvalue = t.Integer(12)
>>> asbytes = bytes(myvalue)
>>> repr(asbytes)
b'\x02\x01\x0c'
Encoding of a composite value using Sequence
import x690.types as t
>>> myvalue = t.Sequence(
... t.Integer(12),
... t.Integer(12),
... t.Integer(12),
... )
>>> asbytes = bytes(myvalue)
>>> repr(asbytes)
b'0\t\x02\x01\x0c\x02\x01\x0c\x02\x01\x0c'
Decoding from bytes
Decode bytes by calling x690.types.pop_tlv on your byte data. This will return a tuple where the first value contains the decoded object, and the second one will contain any remaining bytes which were not decoded.
import x690.types as t
>>> data = b'0\t\x02\x01\x0c\x02\x01\x0c\x02\x01\x0c'
>>> decoded, remaining_bytes = t.pop_tlv(data)
>>> decoded
Sequence(Integer(12), Integer(12), Integer(12))
>>> remaining_bytes
b''
