construct 2.00

library for constructing (parsing and building) of binary and textual data structures

Construct is a library for parsing and building of data structures (binary or textual).

It is based on the concept of defining data structures in a declarative manner, rather than procedural code: more complex constructs are composed of a hierarchy of simpler ones. It's the first library that makes parsing fun, instead of the usual headache it is today.

Construct features bit and byte granularity, symmetrical operation (parsing and building), component-oriented design (declarative), easy debugging and testing, easy to extend (subclass constructs), and lots of primitive constructs to make your work easier (fields, structs, unions, repeaters, meta constructs, switches, on-demand parsing, pointers, etc.)

    Author unreachable according to http://construct-community.wikispaces.com/

    Doesn't install out of the box with a fresh python+setuptools install; it tries to import ez_setup in its setup.py but Python can't find any such module.
    • vdham (2009-11-23):
      I've uploaded a new source file which has no dependency on ez_setup.
