Democritus Netstrings

Democritus functions^[1] for working with Netstrings.

[1] Democritus functions are simple, effective, modular, well-tested, and well-documented Python functions.

We use d8s (pronounced "dee-eights") as an abbreviation for democritus (you can read more about this here).

Installation

pip install d8s-netstrings

You import the library like:

from d8s_netstrings import *

Once imported, you can use any of the functions listed below.

def string_to_netstring_ascii(string: str, *args):
    """Convert the given string to a netstring (and return it's ascii representation)."""

def string_to_netstring_hex(string: str, *args):
    """Convert the given string to a netstring (and return it's hex representation)."""

def netstring_ascii_to_netstring_hex(netstring_ascii: str):
    """Convert a netstring (represented as ascii) to its hex representation."""

def netstring_hex_to_netstring_ascii(netstring_hex: str):
    """Convert a netstring (represented as hex) to its ascii representation."""

def netstring_ascii_to_string(netstring_ascii: str):
    """Get the string portion of the given netstring (represented as ascii)."""

def netstring_hex_to_string(netstring_hex: str):
    """Get the string portion of the given netstring (represented as hex)."""
