bencode.py 4.0.0

Usage

Encode:

>>> import bencodepy

>>> bencodepy.encode({'title': 'Example'})
b'd5:title7:Examplee'

>>> bencodepy.encode(12)
b'i12e'

Decode:

>>> import bencodepy

>>> bencodepy.decode('d5:title7:Examplee')
{b'title': b'Example'}

>>> bencodepy.decode('i12e')
12

Decode to UTF-8:

>>> import bencodepy

>>> bc = bencodepy.Bencode(
    encoding='utf-8'
)

>>> bc.decode('d5:title7:Examplee')
{'title': 'Example'}

Bencode(
    encoding='utf-8',
    encoding_fallback='value',
    dict_ordered=True,
    dict_ordered_sort=True
)

>>> import bencode

>>> bencode.encode({'title': 'Example'})
'd5:title7:Examplee'

>>> bencode.encode(12)
'i12e'

>>> import bencode

>>> bencode.decode('d5:title7:Examplee')
OrderedDict([(u'title', u'Example')])

>>> bencode.decode('i12e')
12

API

bencodepy.Bencode(encoding=None, encoding_fallback=None, dict_ordered=False, dict_ordered_sort=False)

Create instance

• encoding

  Encoding to decode strings with (or None for binary)

• encoding_fallback

  Fallback to binary when decoding fails on the specified string types.

  • key - dictionary keys

  • value - values

  • all - always fallback to binary

  • None - always raise decoding errors

• dict_ordered

  Use OrderedDict

• dict_ordered_sort

  Ensure OrderedDict is sorted

Methods:

• decode(value)

  Decode bencode string value.

• encode(value)

  Encode value into a bencode string.

• read(fd)

  Decode bencode from file or path fd.

• write(data, fd)

  Encode data to file or path fd.

bencodepy.BencodeDecoder(encoding=None, encoding_fallback=None, dict_ordered=False, dict_ordered_sort=False)

Create decoder

• encoding

  Encoding to decode strings with (or None for binary)

• encoding_fallback
