rubymarshal 1.2.10
Read and write Ruby-marshalled data
Requires Python: <4,>=3.8

RubyMarshal
===========

Read and write Ruby-marshalled data.
Only basics Ruby data types can be directly read and written, but you can use any custom Python and Ruby types: 

  * `float`,
  * `bool`,
  * `int`,
  * `str` (mapped to `rubymarshal.classes.RubyString` if dumped with instance variables),
  * `nil` (mapped to `None` in Python),
  * `array` (mapped to `list`),
  * `hash` (mapped to `dict`),
  * symbols and other classes are mapped to specific Python classes.

Installation
------------

```python3
    pip install rubymarshal
```

Usage
-----

```python3
    from rubymarshal.reader import loads, load
    from rubymarshal.writer import writes, write
    with open('my_file', 'rb') as fd:
        content = load(fd)
    with open('my_file', 'wb') as fd:
        write(fd, content)
    loads(b"\x04\bi\xfe\x00\xff")
    writes(-256)
```

You can map custom Ruby types to Python ones:

```python3
    from rubymarshal.reader import loads
    from rubymarshal.classes import RubyObject, registry

    class DomainError(RubyObject):
        ruby_class_name = "Math::DomainError"
    
    registry.register(DomainError)

    loads(b'\x04\x08c\x16Math::DomainError')
```


You can use custom registries instead of the global one:


```python3
    from rubymarshal.reader import loads
    from rubymarshal.classes import RubyObject, ClassRegistry

    class DomainError(RubyObject):
        ruby_class_name = "Math::DomainError"
    
    registry = ClassRegistry()
    registry.register(DomainError)

    loads(b'\x04\x08c\x16Math::DomainError', registry=registry)
```

You can use Ruby's symbols:

```python3
    from rubymarshal.reader import loads
    from rubymarshal.writer import writes
    from rubymarshal.classes import Symbol
    
    x = Symbol("test")
    dump = writes(Symbol("test"))
    y = loads(dump)
    assert y is x
```


The default Writer class is customizable to write custom Python classes:

```python3
    from rubymarshal.writer import writes, Writer
    from rubymarshal.classes import Symbol
    
    class Constant:
        def __init__(self, name):
            self.name = name
    
    class ConstantWriter(Writer):
        def write_python_object(self, obj):
            if isinstance(obj, Constant):
                return self.write(Symbol(obj.name))
            super().write_python_object(obj)
    
    dump = writes([Constant("test")], cls=ConstantWriter)
    print(dump)

```
