The boodebr library is a collection of several Python modules I've written over time and finally collected together.

boodebr.ion

A serializer that implements the JSON/RFC 4627 object model, but can read/write XML as well as JSON streams. It provides a common API (internal and external); changing from XML to JSON (or vice versa) requires only a single parameter change. boodebr.ion implements true object pickling on top of the JSON and XML layers, and allows pickling of binary data, while remaining 100% compatible with RFC 4627.

boodebr.config

Supports configuration files similar in spirit to .INI files, but uses either JSON or XML format, and can contain arbitrary objects. It has a much simpler API than Python's ConfigParser.

boodebr.disthelper

Provides a number of utilities useful for writing setup scripts, providing replacements for some POSIX tools missing in many environments.

boodebr.sql

A light layer over pysqlite and/or APSW providing some extra convenience.
