PythonHuff 1.0.4

Huffman compression and decompression (Pure Python implementation)

Usage

from pyhuff import compress
text=b'A'*100
print(text) # b'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'
comp=compress(text)
print(comp) # b'\x041\x00A\x010\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'

Or use:

pyhuff compress in.txt out.bin
pyhuff decompress out.bin dec.txt

Disadvantages

1. The code is very messy because of compatibility of Python 2 (And I don't know the six package).
2. Decompression is very slow.
3. Not very good, sometimes the compressed file is larger than the original one.
