Stand-alone XDRLIB module (from cpython 3.10.8)
mda-xdrlib is a stand-alone XDRLIB module extracted from
cpython 3.10.8. The xdrlib package has historically been
a feature of the core Python library. However, as of
Python 3.11, the module was deemed to no longer be widely
used and has been deprecated, with a target removal version
of Python 3.13. Several of the MDAnalysis projects rely on
the xdrlib module for their functionality, specifically for
parsing GROMACS TPR and EDR files. To avoid a need to vendor
in the xdrlib functionality in multiple projects, the
approach of creating this stand-alone module which contains
the Python 3.10.8 xdrlib code and its relevant tests.
