Well, what does it do?
Writema is a little library I started to help with writing binary files.
That's it?
Well yeah, what did you expect? Some large module I've been writing my entire life that will change the world with its amazing binary writing ability?
Note, requires Python 3.8 or higher (For now at least)
pip install writemafrom writema import Writema
# Let's say you want to write a file to contain in order:
# - An integer
# - An unsigned integer
# - A double
# - A string prefixed by its length with a byte
# - A large buffer blob you dont exactly know the length of
w = Writema("some_file.bin") # note: defaults to Little Endian
w.write(4, 69) # write a 4 byte integer (int32_t)
w.uwrite(2, -1337) # write an unsigned 2 bit integer (uint16_t)
w.write("d", 2.718281828459045) # write the constant e as a double
string = b"Hello, World!"
length = len(string)
w.write(1, length)
w.bytes(string)
important_data = ... # imagine theres some very large binary blob here in bytes
w.bytes(important_data)Example of ways to do the same action
from writema import Writema, WritemaTypes
w = Writema()
# lets say you want the end buffer to be b"AAAABBBBCCCCDDDD"
# heres four ways you can do each of the four bytes
w.write(4, 1094795585) # Writes a 32 bit (4 byte) integer (AAAA = 1094795585)
w.write("int", 1111638594) # this also writes a 32 bit int (BBBB = 1111638594)
w.write(WritemaTypes.int, 1128481603) # someone might prefer this idk (CCCC = 1128481603)
w.bytes(b"DDDD") # its a bytestring, probably the easiest to work withOther examples
# writing floats and doubles is a little scuffed for now, i plan to find a better solution
w.write("f", 6.9)
w.write("float", 6.9)
w.write(WritemaTypes.float, 6.9)
w.write("d", 6.90000001)
w.write("double", 6.90000001)
w.write(WritemaTypes.double, 6.90000001)
# you can also set endianness
w.set_endianness("big")
# and
w.set_endianness("little") # the correct endianness /sCopyright (c) 2022 whamer100
