    The mitmproxy scripting interface is simple - a serialized representation
    of a flow is passed to the script on stdin, and a possibly modified flow is
    then read by mitmproxy from the scripts stdout. This module provides two
    convenience functions to make loading and returning data from scripts
    simple.
