Source: serpent Section: python Priority: optional Maintainer: Laszlo Boszormenyi (GCS) Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 13), python3-all, python3-setuptools, python3-tz, python3-attr Build-Depends-Indep: dh-python Standards-Version: 4.6.0 Homepage: https://github.com/irmen/Serpent Package: python3-serpent Architecture: all Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${python3:Depends} Description: simple serialization library based on ast.literal_eval(), Python3 modules Serpent provides ast.literal_eval() compatible object tree serialization. It serializes an object tree into bytes (utf-8 encoded string) that can be decoded and then passed as-is to ast.literal_eval() to rebuild it as the original object tree. As such it is safe to send serpent data to other machines over the network for instance (because only 'safe' literals are encoded). . This package contains the core Serpent module for Python 3.x .
