Hallo
I wonder if there are any pure python implementations available/known
for the zip (or any other) data compression... As far as I know
python's zlib uses http://www.zlib.net/, which is written in
C. Unfortunately this is not solution for me, because my target "only"
has a python interpreter....
I have "googled" for a while, but I don't have found anything useful.

I have implemented Huffman in Python, it is not very fast yet. Further
improvements would requires writing some parts in C and use as a
module in Python, or maybe I just didn't think enough on how to
improve the python code.
If you don't know how huffman works, you may read this: http://gpolo.ath.cx:81/implements/huffman
I have described the improvements I have done to this "teaching
version" here: http://gpolo.ath.cx:81/texts/opc
If you don't want to read at all, you can search at pypi for "huffman"
It doesn't have all the functionalities of any normal compressor, like
compressing directories, but it could be implemented of course.
Feedback is welcome

Thank you very much. I will have a look this and try it out.

Hello,
I following an example on how to zip files from the www.devshed.com
site.
I can create a zip package, however I am not getting any compression.
120M file stays 120M within the zip package.
I need to know how to set or activate the compression values.
here is the code I'm using:
>import zipfile
>zip = zipfile.ZipFile('<path/zipfilename.zip>', 'w')

Python Doc Problem Example: gzip
Xah Lee, 20050831
Today i need to use Python to compress/decompress gzip files. Since
i've read the official Python tutorial 8 months ago, have spent 30
minutes with Python 3 times a week since, have 14 years of computing
experience, 8 years in mathematical computing and 4 years in unix admin

Last year, I wrote a pure VB compression program because
there didn't seem to be anything like this. It is not zip-
compatible because it uses newer (industry-tested, well
known) algorithms, but it compresses a bit better than
zip and is quite fast. Some of the fastest moden
compression programs such as Bzip use these algorithms.
I've converted it to VB.Net for anyone who is interested.
If your app both compresses and decompresses, then...

Thanks to anyone who reads this.
Below is some C# that compresses an array of bytes, and then
decompresses, and compares the original data with the new.
Firstly, the length of the decompressed data is shorter than the
original. So some loss of data has occured. But the content up until
the early truncation matches. So am I flushing correctly? This error
only occurs for particular combinations of bytes in the original
buffer.

Hi, everyone,
I am wondering whether it's possible to read part (e.g. 1000*1000) of
a huge jpeg file (e.g. 30000*30000) and save it to another jpeg file
by pure python. I failed to read the whole file and split it, because
it would cost 2GB memory.
Can anyone help me? Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
