The rencode module is similar to bencode from the BitTorrent project. For complex, heterogeneous data structures with many small elements, r-encodings take up significantly less space than b-encodings:
>>> len(rencode.dumps({'a':0, 'b':[1,2], 'c':99}))
13
>>> len(bencode.bencode({'a':0, 'b':[1,2], 'c':99}))
26
This version of rencode is a complete rewrite in Cython to attempt to increase the performance over the pure Python module written by Petru Paler, Connelly Barnes et al.
The test program used for these results is included in the repository: https://github.com/aresch/rencode/blob/master/tests/timetest.py
