An IPLD implementation in Python
Project description
py-ipld
Python implementation of the IPLD specification.
Status
This is a Work-in-Progress. For TODOs, see: #1
Installation
$ pip install ipld # (not yet)
Usage
In the Python REPL:
>>> from ipld import marshal, multihash, unmarshal
>>>
>>> file = {
... 'name': 'hello.txt',
... 'size': 11
... }
>>>
>>> marshalled = marshal(file)
>>>
>>> multihash(marshalled)
'QmQtX5JVbRa25LmQ1LHFChkXWW5GaWrp7JpymN4oPuBSmL'
>>>
>>> unmarshal(marshal(file)) == file
True
That’s it. No readthedocs, no private methods :boom:.
Tests
