It is built on top of the Construct library and uses construct-typing and sumtypes to define and work with binary-serialized data structures.\n\nThe package prioritizes strict specification compliance and is intended for use cases where deterministic serialization is required\u2014particularly in cryptographic and hashing contexts. However, the package has been abandoned since its initial release in October 2021, with no subsequent updates or maintenance.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are already committed to this exact version or cannot migrate. The package is abandoned (last release October 2021, no commits since), and its dependencies may not be compatible with modern Python environments.
