IESpec-based interface to IPFIX information elements,
and interface to use the default IPFIX IANA Information Model

An IESpec is a string representation of an IPFIX information element,
including all the information required to define it, as documented in
Section 9 of http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ipfix-ie-doctors.
It has the format:

  name(pen/num)<type>[size]

To specify a new Information Element, a complete IESpec
must be passed to for_spec():

>>> import ipfix.ie
>>> e = ipfix.ie.for_spec("myNewInformationElement(35566/1)<string>")
>>> e  #doctest: +IGNORE_UNICODE
InformationElement('myNewInformationElement', 35566, 1, ipfix.types.for_name('string'), 65535)

The string representation of an InformationElement is its IESpec:

>>> str(e)
'myNewInformationElement(35566/1)<string>[65535]'

To get an Information Element already specified, an incomplete specification
can be passed; a name or number is enough:

>>> ipfix.ie.use_iana_default()
>>> ipfix.ie.use_5103_default()
>>> str(ipfix.ie.for_spec("octetDeltaCount"))
'octetDeltaCount(0/1)<unsigned64>[8]'
>>> str(ipfix.ie.for_spec("(2)"))
'packetDeltaCount(0/2)<unsigned64>[8]'

Reduced-length encoding and fixed-length sequence types are supported by the
for_length method; this is used internally by templates.

>>> str(e.for_length(32))
'myNewInformationElement(35566/1)<string>[32]'

An Information Element object can also be used to translate
between native Python and string representations of an Information Element value:

>>> ipfix.ie.for_spec("sourceIPv4Address").parse("192.0.2.19")
IPv4Address('192.0.2.19')
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> ipfix.ie.for_spec("flowEndMilliseconds").unparse(datetime(2013,6,21,14))  #doctest: +IGNORE_UNICODE
'2013-06-21 14:00:00.000'


Most client code will only need the :func:`use_iana_default`,
:func:`use_5103_default`, and :func:`use_specfile` functions;
client code using tuple interfaces will need :func:`spec_list` as well.
