avocato: simple and fast object serialization

avocato is a simple and fast ORM/framework-agnostic object serialization library for converting complex objects to and from simple Python datatypes.

Don't be scared if you're using an ORM/framework. It can easily be adapted to be used with any ORM/framework of your liking. Currently it supports Django ORM and peewee.

This library is heavily influenced by serpy.

Installation

$ pip install avocato
