I would like to import py-hackior-3.3.0 in devel/. This port is needed
as RDEP of a coming update of news/sabnzbd.

Passes tests, and run tested in combination with the sabnzbd update.

Previously this tool was split up in 3 separate tools by upstream:
py-hachoir-{core,metadata,parser}. And was imported in 2017 by rpointel@
and moved to the attic in 2021 sthen@ as it had a dependency on obsolete
software (Python2). 3.3.0 is refactored to (only) run on Python3.

COMMENT

DESCR
Hachoir is a Python library to view and edit a binary stream field by field. In
other words, Hachoir allows you to "browse" any binary stream just like you
browse directories and files.

A file is splitted in a tree of fields, where the smallest field is just one
bit. Examples of fields types: integers, strings, bits, padding types, floats,
etc. Hachoir is the French word for a meat grinder (meat mincer), which is used
by butchers to divide meat into long tubes; Hachoir is used by computer butchers
to divide binary files into fields.
