A simple tool for converting a folder to a file and the other way around.
Project description
🎒 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')
