yEnc-Python3

Basic yEnc encoder and decoder for python3.

This module does not parse nor generate the required header(s) or trailer. It only provides a pair of encode and decode functions, which also return the size of the ORIGINAL data (input for encode, output for decode) and the crc32 of the original data.

This module is written in C (yenc) and python (wrapper, crc32). It is written for use by eeeeeric/anchorman, but is available as a separate package as there exists no C yenc module for python3 as of writing.

Installation

python setup.py build
python setup.py install

Usage

import yenc

size, crc32, encoded = yenc.encode(b'data')
size, crc32, decoded = yenc.decode(encoded)

Use help(yenc) for more information.

Testing

You can run tests with

py.test test/test.py

Notes

The returned crc32 value is in hex, without any leading "0x"
