magical recently noted that construct may soon be the only dependency holding us back from py3k. Biwako is a binary format parser doo-dad that works *only* on py3k.

Note that i haven’t given this lib any real examination; i’m just throwing this out there.

The readme says:

Last commit about a month ago.

I’d be wary of this thing, unless we want to pick it up ourselves. And in that case, I’d consider porting Construct instead.
