Description: structpack
        ==========
        
        A Python library for serializing and deserializing object trees to JSON-compatable values (dicts, lists, strings, ints, floats, bools).
        
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        The recommended way to install structpack is with [pip](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip/):
        
            pip install structpack
        
        
        Examples
        ========
        
        `structpack` is designed to be a base class (`msg`) that you inherit from and add properties to (`bool`, `int`, `float`, `string`, `list`, and `dict`).
        
        The `msg` class adds methods `pack` and `load` which convert your object to and from native types, respectively.
        
        The following is a trivial example of how to make a `Point` type using structpack
        
            import structpack
            class Point(structpack.msg):
                x = structpack.float
                y = structpack.float
                z = structpack.float
                def __init__(self, x, y, z):
                    self.x = x
                    self.y = y
                    self.z = z
        
            >>> p1 = Point(1., 2., 3.)
            >>> data = p1.pack()
            >>> print data
            (1.0, 2.0, 3.0)
        
            >>> p2 = Point.load(data)
            >>> print p2
            <__main__.Point object at 0x0000000001EDA390>
            >>> print p2.x, p2.y, p2.z
            1.0 2.0 3.0
