Hi All,
Sorry if you get this twice, it seems to have gotten lost on its way through python-announce. I'm pleased to announce the first release of the "extprot" python module. Extprot implements a compact, efficient, extensible and language-neutral object serialisation protocol. License: MIT Downloads: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/extprot/ Source code: http://github.com/rfk/extprot/tree/master You can think of extprot as something akin to Google's protocol buffers, with a few extra bytes of serialisation overhead and a Python binding that doesn't have nearly as many rough edges. For example: * It's a stand-alone python module, packaged and distributed in the standard fashion. * It's friendly to dynamic package management tools like pip. * It works exclusively with standard Python objects. Declared a list field? It's a native list object. * You don't need to compile your protocol definitions. More on the extprot format itself is here: http://eigenclass.org/R2/writings/extprot-extensible-protocols-intro More on my motivations for this package here, if you're interested: http://www.rfk.id.au/blog/entry/new-python-module-extprot Enjoy!
