deluge.rencode

rencode – Web safe object pickling/unpickling.

Public domain, Connelly Barnes 2006-2007.

The rencode module is a modified version of bencode from the BitTorrent project. For complex, heterogeneous data structures with many small elements, r-encodings take up significantly less space than b-encodings:

>>> len(rencode.dumps({'a':0, 'b':[1,2], 'c':99}))
13
>>> len(bencode.bencode({'a':0, 'b':[1,2], 'c':99}))
26

The rencode format is not standardized, and may change with different rencode module versions, so you should check that you are using the same rencode version throughout your project.

deluge.rencode.dumps(x, float_bits=32)

Dump data structure to str.

Here float_bits is either 32 or 64.
