py-leximited is a python package for lexicographically delimited encoding and decoding.
The Leximited Format was created by Dave Ackley, and is described here.
It is useful when working with lists of information that you want to keep in a specific order across different programs/operating systems/etc.
It also adds the useful feature of giving the length of the string as the first values of the string.
pip install leximited
import leximited
leximited.to_leximited('boo') returns '3boo'
leximited.from_leximited('3boo') returns 'boo'
