xdrlib3

library0.1.1pypypi✓ verified 85d ago

A Python library for encoding and decoding XDR (External Data Representation) data. It is a forked version of Python's standard library `xdrlib` (removed in Python 3.13), intended as a drop-in replacement. Current version 0.1.1, requires Python 3.7+.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

Packer

✓ from xdrlib3 import Packer

✗ from xdrlib import Packer

xdrlib is removed in Python 3.13; xdrlib3 is the replacement.

Unpacker

✓ from xdrlib3 import Unpacker

✗ from xdrlib import Unpacker

Same as above, xdrlib is gone in Python 3.13.

Basic usage: pack an integer, then unpack it.

from xdrlib3 import Packer, Unpacker p = Packer() p.pack_int(42) data = p.get_buffer() u = Unpacker(data) print(u.unpack_int()) # 42

Debug

Known issues

breakingxdrlib is removed from Python stdlib starting Python 3.13. Code using `from xdrlib import ...` will fail. Migrate to xdrlib3.

fix

Replace `from xdrlib import Packer, Unpacker` with `from xdrlib3 import Packer, Unpacker`.

affects: >=3.13

gotchaThe library is a fork of the old stdlib module. It is not maintained by Python core developers. Check for compatibility if using Python <3.7.

fix

Ensure Python >=3.7, as specified in requires_python.

affects: all

gotchaThe package name on PyPI is `xdrlib3`, but the import module is also `xdrlib3`. Do not confuse with `xdrlib` (the old stdlib) or other XDR libraries.

fix

Use `pip install xdrlib3` and `import xdrlib3`.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'xdrlib'

Python 3.13 removed the deprecated xdrlib module.

fix

Install and use xdrlib3 instead: `pip install xdrlib3` and change imports to `from xdrlib3 import Packer`.

ImportError: cannot import name 'Packer' from 'xdrlib3'

Typo or incorrect submodule path. The correct import is `from xdrlib3 import Packer`.

fix

Use `from xdrlib3 import Packer` (not `from xdrlib3.xdrlib import Packer`).

TypeError: pack_int() missing 1 required positional argument: 'value'

Forgetting to pass the value to pack methods.

fix

Call `p.pack_int(42)` with an argument.
