 u-msgpack-python is a lightweight [MessagePack](http://msgpack.org/) serializer and deserializer module written in pure Python, compatible with both Python 2 and 3, as well CPython and PyPy implementations of Python. u-msgpack-python is fully compliant with the latest [MessagePack specification](https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack/blob/master/spec.md). In particular, it supports the new binary, UTF-8 string, and application-defined ext types.
