I wrote my own: cs.binary, available on PyPI. The PyPI page has is 
module docs, which I think are ok:

  https://pypi.org/project/cs.binary/

Here's a binary packet protocol built on to of it:

  https://pypi.org/project/cs.packetstream/

and here's an ISO14496 (the MP4 format) parser using it:

  https://pypi.org/project/cs.iso14496/

Of interest is that ISO 14496 uses recursive data structures.

The command line "main" function is up the top, which shows how it is 
used.
