An EXI (Efficient XML Interchange) solution for Python.

This is a wrapper on the C implementation EXIP (http://exip.sourceforge.net/) using Cython.

Compilation:
Compile the extension module (pyexip.so) using the provided Makefile.

Current Status: (updated 12-21-2012)

• Wrappers created for:
  • "serialize" API for schema-less encoding
  • BinaryBuffer
  • EXIStream
  • String
  • Qname
• src/test.py contains a working "serialize" (encoding) example based on the example in Sec. 4.1 of the EXIP User Guide.

Example usage:
The plan of the project is to provide two sets of API:

• The wrapped C API with the interface similar to that provided in C
• A Pythonic API that also provides conversion to and from XML (This has not been implemented yet)

import pyexip

strm = pyexip.EXIStream()
serialize = pyexip.serialize()

serialize.initHeader(strm)
serialize.setHasCookie(strm)
buf = pyexip.BinaryBuffer(1024)
serialize.initStream(strm, buf)
