From Newsgroup: comp.lang.python.announce

I am pleased to announce the availability of beta release 0.7.0 of
the "plum-py" package.

This pure Python package provides classes and utility functions to
transform byte sequences into Python objects and back. While similar
in purpose to Python's standard library ``struct`` module, this
package provides a larger set of format specifiers and is extensible,
allowing you to easily create complex ones of your own.

Repo: https://gitlab.com/dangass/plum
Install: pip install plum-py

Change List
=========

- Backwards Incompatible
- Change ``BitFields`` and ``Structure`` default behavior to
automatically place
bitfields from most significant to least significant position when
lsb not
specified. Add ``fieldorder`` metaclass keyword argument to support
old behavior
(e.g. specify ``fieldorder="least_to_most"``).
- Change ``bitfield()`` and ``bitfield_member()`` to always default to ``int`` for
``typ`` (previously it defaulted to the type annotation if present, otherwise to
``int``; this change is in preparation for supporting Python 3.10)

- Backwards Compatible
- Add ``SizedX`` transform properties (e.g. ``fmt``, ``size_fmt``, etc.)
- Fix ``BitFields`` to allow `nbytes` to allow any size (previously it
had to be
a power of two).
