Description Daniel Moerner 2024-07-20 19:06:30 UTC
Spec URL: https://moerner.com/fedora/python-flatbencode.spec
SRPM URL: https://moerner.com/fedora/python-flatbencode-0.2.1-1.fc41.src.rpm
Description: Fast, safe and thoroughly tested implementation of bencode in pure Python 3, without any C extension. This is called flatbencode because the algorithm for decoding a bencode structure is non-recursive, thus preventing RuntimeException.

Further comments: This is my first Python package (and my first submission for review for a while); any feedback is welcome. I would like to add this to Fedora because it's a requirement for torf, a Python module for creating, parsing, and editing torrent files, which I intend to package along with the torf-cli and torf-gui applications.

Daniel, the spec file looks good at a first glance. I noticed that the last change in the upstream repo was 8 years ago. Are you sure you need that library? Maybe this library is just "done" for what it is supposed to do but just a quick confirmation would be nice before I start reviewing this in detail.

Hi Felix, Thanks for taking a look at this! I spent some time looking into what I was planning to use this for, and I think you're right that it's better to try to find a more modern solution. I'm going to go ahead and withdraw this request and close the bug.
