boost

✓ from plum import boost

✗ from plum import Struct

Define a struct with fields and pack into bytes.

from plum import Struct class MyHeader(Struct): magic: 'I' # unsigned int length: 'I' data: 'I' hdr = MyHeader(magic=0x1234, length=100, data=0) buffer = hdr.pack() print(buffer.hex())

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe import is 'from plum import Struct', not 'plum-py' or 'plum_py'. The PyPI name is plum-py but the module name is plum.

fix

Use 'from plum import Struct'.

affects: all

gotchaField types are specified as strings (e.g., 'I' for unsigned int) similar to struct module. Using Python type hints does not work; you must use struct format characters.

fix

Define fields as class-level annotations with format strings, e.g., field_name: 'I'.

affects: all

gotchaThe Struct class does not support variable-length arrays or nested structs directly. Use custom pack/unpack methods.

fix

For complex structures, consider using construct or raw struct.
