This package provides Python functions to encode Python data structures (lists, bytes) into RLP format and decode RLP-encoded bytes back into their original form.\n\nThe package is straightforward: you pass it data to encode or RLP bytes to decode, and it handles the serialization logic. It depends only on eth-utils, making it lightweight and suitable for integration into blockchain tools, Ethereum clients, or any system that needs to work with RLP-serialized data.","worth_installing":"Yes. It is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, carries a permissive MIT license, and installs with minimal friction. Install it if you work with Ethereum, blockchain systems, or need RLP serialization; skip it if you have no use for that specific encoding format."},"id":"rlp","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/rlp","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/rlp.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/rlp/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-02-04","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"rlp","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"rlp: A package for Recursive Length Prefix encoding and decoding"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":6009921,"position":1984,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.1.0"}
