From a7564e8004fd6d9a63eb0605f752f27a71403645 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ole Troan Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2018 21:06:44 +0200 Subject: Python API: Add enum and union support. As well as a rewrite of the encoders/decoders to make it more readable and extensible. (Re-commit after fix to verify build.)
