asn1 2.7.1

Description:

asn1 2.7.1

Python-ASN1 is a simple ASN.1 encoder and decoder for Python 2.7 and 3.5+.

Features

Support BER (parser) and DER (parser and generator) encoding (except indefinite lengths)
100% python, compatible with version 2.7, 3.5 and higher
Can be integrated by just including a file into your project



Dependencies
Python-ASN1 relies on Python-Future for Python 2 and 3 compatibility. To install Python-Future:
pip install future


How to install Python-asn1
Install from PyPi with the following:
pip install asn1
or download the repository from GitHub and install with the following:
python setup.py install
You can also simply include asn1.py into your project.


How to use Python-asn1

Note
You can find more detailed documentation on the Usage page.


Encoding
If you want to encode data and retrieve its DER-encoded representation, use code such as:
import asn1

encoder = asn1.Encoder()
encoder.start()
encoder.write('1.2.3', asn1.Numbers.ObjectIdentifier)
encoded_bytes = encoder.output()


Decoding
If you want to decode ASN.1 from DER or BER encoded bytes, use code such as:
import asn1

decoder = asn1.Decoder()
decoder.start(encoded_bytes)
tag, value = decoder.read()



Documentation
The complete documentation is available on Read The Docs:
