Native Python types¶
-
pyasn1.codec.native.encoder.
encode
(asn1Value)¶ Turns ASN.1 object into a Python built-in type object(s).
Takes any ASN.1 object (e.g.
PyAsn1Item
derivative) walks all its components recursively and produces a Python built-in type or a tree of those.One exception is that instead of
dict
, theOrderedDict
can be produced (whenever available) to preserve ordering of the components in ASN.1 SEQUENCE.Parameters: pyasn1 object to encode (or a tree of them) Returns: object
– Python built-in type instance (or a tree of them)Raises: : :py:class:`pyasn1.error.PyAsn1Error` – On encoding errors
-
pyasn1.codec.native.decoder.
decode
(pyObject, asn1Spec)¶ Turns Python objects of built-in types into ASN.1 objects.
Takes Python objects of built-in types and turns them into a tree of ASN.1 objects (e.g.
PyAsn1Item
derivative) which may be a scalar or an arbitrary nested structure.Parameters: - pyObject (
object
) – A scalar or nested Python objects - asn1Spec (any pyasn1 type object e.g.
PyAsn1Item
derivative) – A pyasn1 type object to act as a template guiding the decoder. It is required for successful interpretation of Python objects mapping into their ASN.1 representations.
Returns: PyAsn1Item
derivative – A scalar or constructed pyasn1 objectRaises: : :py:class:`pyasn1.error.PyAsn1Error` – On decoding errors
