cborutil: port to Python 3...
cborutil: port to Python 3 The only problem lurking in here was sorts of mismatched types. The sorts are only for output stability in our tests (sigh), so we just build a phony sort key using the __name__ of types so that we only compare like types against each other. By pure luck, my awful sort key matches the behavior we get "for free" in Python 2, so no test output changes. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3504

Build Status Code Coverage

This library provides encoding and decoding for the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) (RFC 7049) serialization format.

There exists another Python CBOR implementation (cbor) which is faster on CPython due to its C extensions. On PyPy, cbor2 and cbor are almost identical in performance. The other implementation also lacks documentation and a comprehensive test suite, does not support most standard extension tags and is known to crash (segfault) when passed a cyclic structure (say, a list containing itself).
