Python SCALE Codec Library

The `scalecodec` library is a Python implementation of the Substrate-specific Simple Concatenated Aggregate Little-Endian (SCALE) codec. It provides functionality for encoding and decoding data types used in Substrate-based blockchains, such as Polkadot and Kusama. The library is actively maintained, with frequent updates, and is currently at version 1.2.12, with a major version 2.0.0a (alpha) in development.
