RLP is the encoding scheme used throughout the Ethereum protocol to serialize objects for transmission and storage. This package wraps the lower-level rlp library with Ethereum-specific object definitions, so you can encode and decode transactions, blocks, and other blockchain primitives without manually specifying their structure each time.\n\nThe package depends on eth-utils for utility functions, hexbytes for hex-encoded byte handling, rlp for the core encoding/decoding logic, and typing_extensions for type hints. It targets modern Python versions (3.8\u20133.13) and is maintained by the Ethereum Foundation. With no known vulnerabilities and a permissive MIT license, it is suitable for production use in Ethereum tooling, wallets, and protocol implementations.","worth_installing":"Yes. eth-rlp is a stable, low-friction dependency for any Python project working with Ethereum data structures. It has no known vulnerabilities, a permissive license, and broad Python version support. The aging maintenance status (556 days since last release) is not a blocker for a mature, well-scoped library; however, if you need active feature development or rapid bug fixes, verify that the package's release cadence meets your project's expectations."},"id":"eth-rlp","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/eth-rlp","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/eth-rlp.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/eth-rlp/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-02-04","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"eth-rlp","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"eth-rlp: RLP definitions for common Ethereum objects in Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":6512565,"position":1895,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.2.0"}
