A simple Bencoder for Python based on BencodePy.

• The encoder handles the non-standard elements, such as float, None, and bool.
• The dict encoder is fixed so that dicts are sorted lexically by key name, otherwise the bencode string differs between uses.

The author uses bhencode to produce MD5 hashes of Python objects.

import bhencode
import hashlib

hashlib.md5(bhencode.encode(raw_data)).hexdigest()

The easiest way to install this library is using pip.

pip install https://github.com/landonb/bhencode/archive/master.zip
