Hi there,

I've a need for handling data contained in InfoReply object. Since the parser is on the TODO list, I wish to implement it. I also took the time to implement a parser for ClientListReply object.

These are naive parsers, all of the value are displayed as bytes string (no attempts of type conversion). The data structures are pretty straight forward:

  • InfoReply: return a dict containing all the key/value pair found in the reply. The sections, the lines starting with b"# ", are not used as keys here. I don't know if we should do something like that info = {section_name1: {section_key1, section_value2}, section_name2: {...}, } instead.
  • ClientListReply: return a list of dict, each element of the list representing a client

I make this Pull Request to discuss the implementation of these parsers, thus if you have any suggestion about it (since this implementation will do the job for my project), I'll be pleased to modifiy it.
Naturally, the tests will be written once the design has been validated.

Cheers,

for line in data.splitlines():
pairs = line.split(b" ")
client_info = {}
print(pairs)
