ANN: extprot 0.1.1

[Ryan Kelly]

Hi All,


Sorry if you get this twice, it seems to have gotten lost on its way
through python-announce.

I'm pleased to announce the first release of the "extprot" python
module.  Extprot implements a compact, efficient, extensible and
language-neutral object serialisation protocol.

License:      MIT
Downloads:    http://pypi.python.org/pypi/extprot/
Source code:  http://github.com/rfk/extprot/tree/master


You can think of extprot as something akin to Google's protocol buffers,
with a few extra bytes of serialisation overhead and a Python binding
that doesn't have nearly as many rough edges.  For example:

      * It's a stand-alone python module, packaged and distributed in
        the standard fashion.
      * It's friendly to dynamic package management tools like pip.
      * It works exclusively with standard Python objects. Declared a
        list field? It's a native list object.
      * You don't need to compile your protocol definitions.

Enjoy!
