Initializing help system before first use

to_binary

Purpose
Convert a Python dictionary to Mosel binary format bytes.
Synopsis
function to_binary(data) -> bytes
Argument
data 
Dictionary with string keys and values convertible to Mosel types
Return value
Binary data as a bytes object
Example
Create binary data for a Mosel model: 
data = {"x": 42, "arr": {1: 10, 2: 20}}
bin_data = mp.to_binary(data)
output = model.run(input_data={"mydata": bin_data})
Further information
1. The binary format is the same as used by Mosel's bin: driver. In the Mosel model, use initializations from "bin:moselpy:name" to read the binary data.
2. Binary format is more efficient than text format for large datasets and preserves full precision for floating-point numbers.
