ASN.1 library for Python 
------------------------
This is a free and open source implementation of ASN.1 types and codecs as a Python
package. It has been first written to support particular protocol (SNMP)
but then generalized to be suitable for a wide range of protocols
based on ASN.1 specification.
Features
--------
* Generic implementation of ASN.1 types (X.208)
* Fully standard compliant BER/CER/DER codecs
* 100% Python, works with Python 2.4 up to Python 3.5
* MT-safe
Misfeatures
-----------
* No ASN.1 compiler shipped with pyasn1, so by-hand ASN.1 spec compilation
into Python code would be needed. But there is a project, called Asn1ate,
that compiles ASN.1 documents into pyasn1 code.
[More info](https://github.com/kimgr/asn1ate)
* Codecs are not restartable
Installation
------------
Download pyasn1 from [PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyasn1) by running:
$ pip install pyasn1
Operation
---------
Perhaps a typical use would involve [by-hand] compilation of your ASN.1
specification into pyasn1-backed Python code at your application.
For more information on pyasn1 APIs, please, refer to the [documentation](http://pyasn1.sourceforge.net).
Also refer to example modules. Take a look at [pyasn1-modules](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyasn1)
package -- maybe it already holds something useful to you.
Download
--------
The pyasn1 package is distributed under terms and conditions of 2-clause
BSD [license](http://pyasn1.sourceforge.net/license.html). Source code is freely
[available](https://github.com/etingof/pyasn1) from GitHub:
Feedback
--------
If something does not work as expected, try browsing pyasn1
[mailing list archives](https://sourceforge.net/p/pyasn1/mailman/pyasn1-users/) or post
your question [to Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask).
