Picopod Documentation¶
Picopod is a Python library for working with Picotron pods, serialized objects which resemble Lua and also support embedded binary data. All pod features as of Picotron 0.3.0d are supported, including userdata and compression.
It’s useful for working with data files for Picotron programs and writing servers that efficiently interact with Picotron clients. It is not a generic serialization library for arbitrary Python objects.
Python 3.12 or above is required, and full type annotations for type checkers are included. The only external dependency is the lz4 library needed to handle compressed pods.
