bkpk 0.2.24

A simple tool for converting a folder to a file and the other way around.

🎒 Backpack (bkpk)

A super simple and lightweight zip alternative. No encryption, compression or anything, just a simple file packer and unpacker using the Python builtin pickle. Supports files of pretty much any type.

Installation

Pip (recommended)

pip install bkpk

or

python -m pip install bkpk

Manual (advanced users only)

git clone https://github.com/nsde/bkpk.git
python bkpk 

Please note that this won't create a shell command, so you need to write python /home/user/Downloads/bkpk/bkpk (replace the example with your according values!) instead of just bkpk. Linux users add rights to the bkpk.sh using sudo chmod +x bkpk.sh and copy the file using sudo cp bkpk.sh /usr/bin/bkpk

Commands

Zipping a folder / Creating a backpack

bkpk example/

This will create a example.bkpk in your current directory.

Unzipping a backpack

bkpk example.bkpk

This will create all directories and files which are stored in the backpack.

Python API

import bkpk

bkpk.save('example/')
bkpk.load('example.bkpk')
