FTL .dat packer and unpacker

I wrote a simple Python script to pack and unpack the data files of the indie game FTL, which is by the way quite enjoyable. You can find it here on github.

Hey!
Thanks a lot for this tool.
You don’t look like either of the developers though, so I’m curious as for how you managed to write it.
//It’s always nice to expand on some programming skills.
Not sure if you can see my mail, but if you feel like answering my question, please, send me an email.
Thanks again.
