I am writing a python program that recieves 'compressed and encoded'
strings from another piece of software. I can successfully uncompress
and decode the strings via
import base64, zlib
def getString(s):
s = base64.decodest ring(s)
s = zlib.decompress (s, -15)
return s
Now, I want to take a 'readable' text string, and compress and encode
it the same way as the other piece of software. I first tried the
seemingly obvious (but incorrect)
import base64, zlib
def makeString(s):
s = zlib.compress(s , 9)
s = base64.encodest ring(s)
return s
I have also tried using the gzip module to do this like
import base64, gzip, StringIO
def makeString(s):
sio = StringIO.String IO()
gzipper = gzip.GzipFile(m ode="wb", fileobj=sio)
gzipper.write(s )
s = base64.encodest ring(sio.getval ue())
return s
What I would like to be able to do is take a string s, pass it through
the makeString function, and pass the result through the getString
function, and end up with the original string s back. I have to stick
with the way getString is, so I can handle strings from another
program, so I need to adapt makeString accordingly, but cannot figure
out how.

I was unable to use the ZipFile class in the zipfile module in Python2.4. I

installation I noticed Python 2.4 was missing a certain file:

Hi,
Not sure if this is a proper ng to post this question.
Is here anybody who has used zlib? I downloaded 1.2.1 of zlib from
www.gzip.org/zlib (for windows 98/nt/2000/xp), and used it in my program to
zip/unzip files. When I use the zipper class in zlib to zip a folder, I got
a zip file with the SAME SIZE of zip file created (on the same folder) with
the 'ZipTest' program downloaded from the site. But the problem is that the
zip file...

I enabled automatic gzip compression with the following lines in
..htaccess:
php_value zlib.output_compression On
php_value zlib.output_compression_level 5
The problem is that the Content-Encoding header does not get set at all
in the response. Therefore, a browser that advertises itself as
supporting gzip compression (Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate) receives
compressed content but does not know it is compressed.

I'm writing a program in python that creates tar files of a certain
maximum size (to fit onto CD/DVD). One of the problems I'm running
into is that when using compression, it's pretty much impossible to
determine if a file, once added to an archive, will cause the archive
size to exceed the maximum size.
I believe that to do this properly, you need to copy the state of tar
file (basically the current file offset as well as the state of...

I am trying to decompress some data in a file, from PHP. It's data that

I can open the file and read some regular data from it. When I get to the

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
