"Still alpha"? #1

Open oprypin opened 9 years ago

What exactly is wrong with this package that you call it "alpha"? Seems to support what I threw at it, has tests...

Could you consider finalizing this package or updating the status? Because it's clearly the best available implementation right now.

Hi!

There are some things missing:

  1. verification of reference counting (maybe there are some memory leaks, maybe not)
  2. throwing proper exception on invalid input
  3. documentation (and benchmarks against other implementations)
  4. finding a way to deal with my extensions to BEncode (better_bencode can dump and load NoneType, bool an float types)

I have lots of improvements on 1. and 2. done but not pushed. I am going to release new version before the end of October.

I am happy that you like better_bencode :)
