BinaPy

BinaPy is a module that makes Binary Data manipulation simpler and easier than what is offered in the Python standard library.

With BinaPy, encoding or decoding data in a number of formats (base64, base64url, hex, url-encoding, etc.), compressing or decompressing (gzip), hashing (SHA1, SHA256, MD5, etc., with or without salt), is all a single method call away! And you can extend it with new formats and features.

from binapy import BinaPy

bp = BinaPy("Hello, World!").to("deflate").to("b64u")
print(bp)
# b'80jNycnXUQjPL8pJUQQA'
bp.decode_from("b64u").decode_from("deflate").ascii()
# "Hello, World!"
isinstance(bp, bytes)
# True

• Free software: MIT

Features

• Fluent interface, based on a bytes subclass
• Provides a convenient interface over hashlib, base64, zlib, urllib.parse, json, pickle and more
• Easy to extend with new formats

TODO

• add more parsing formats like YAML, CBOR, etc.
• optionally use faster third-party modules when available
