twnet_parser/README.md

A teeworlds network protocol library, designed according to sans I/O (http://sans-io.readthedocs.io/) principles

# THIS LIBRARY IS IN EARLY DEVELOPMENT

## Do not get bamboozled by the mature looking readme!
## This project is not in a very usable state yet. It is in very early development!
## APIs might change and many essential features are missing!

---

## install

```bash
pip install twnet_parser
```

## sample usage

```python
import twnet_parser.packet
packet = twnet_parser.packet.parse7(b'\x04\x0a\x00\xcf\x2e\xde\x1d\04') # 0.7 close

print(packet) # => <class: 'TwPacket'>: {'version': '0.7', 'header': <class: 'Header'>, 'messages': [<class: 'CtrlMessage'>]}
print(packet.header) # => <class: 'Header'>: {'flags': <class: 'PacketFlags7, 'size': 0, 'ack': 10, 'token': b'\xcf.\xde\x1d', 'num_chunks': 0}
print(packet.header.flags) # => <class: 'PacketFlags7'>: {'control': True, 'resend': False, 'compression': False, 'connless': False}
for msg in packet.messages:
    print(msg.message_name) # => close
```

## Non-Features (also not planned for this library)

| Feature                        | Status  | Where to find it                            |
| ------------------------------ | ------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| Networking                     | :x:     | TODO: link if someone implemented it on top |
| Protocol version detection     | :x:     | TODO: link if someone implemented it on top |
| Track sequence number state    | :x:     | TODO: link if someone implemented it on top |
| Track connection state         | :x:     | TODO: link if someone implemented it on top |

Look elsewhere for these features. Or use this library to implement them on top.

This project is intentionally only covering parsing the protocol.
Not fully implemeting a state machine of the protocol.
Or a fully working client / server software.

If you want to build something with this library
you do have to understand how the protocol works
and when the client and server have to send what.

This [protocol documentation](https://chillerdragon.github.io/teeworlds-protocol/index.html)
should get you started to understand the basics.

## development setup

```bash
git clone https://gitlab.com/teeworlds-network/twnet_parser
cd twnet_parser
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements/dev.txt
```

## tests and linting

```bash
# dev dependencies
pip install -r requirements/dev.txt

# run unit tests
pytest .

# run style linter
pylint src/

# run type checker
mypy src/

# or use the bundle script that runs all tests
./scripts/run_tests.sh
```

## package and release

```bash
# manual
pip install -r requirements/dev.txt
version=0.0.2
sed -i "s/^version =.*/version = $version/" setup.cfg
python -m build
git tag -a "v$version" -m "# version $version"
python -m twine upload dist/*

# or use the interactive convience script
./scripts/release.sh
