Codrop Python Bindings

Universal, high-performance, adaptive lossless compression system.

Installation

pip install codrop

Quick Start

import codrop

# Input bytes
data = b"Hello Codrop! High performance adaptive compression for modern runtimes."

# Compress (Profiles: LEVEL_AUTO, LEVEL_FAST, LEVEL_BALANCED, LEVEL_COMPACT)
compressed = codrop.compress(data, level=codrop.LEVEL_BALANCED)
print(f"Original: {len(data)} bytes, Compressed: {len(compressed)} bytes")

# Decompress
decompressed = codrop.decompress(compressed)
assert decompressed == data
print("Roundtrip successful!")

Compression Profiles

• codrop.LEVEL_AUTO (0): Adaptive classification, picks optimal codec or RAW fallback for high entropy.
• codrop.LEVEL_FAST (1): LZF byte-aligned LZ engine. Maximum throughput.
• codrop.LEVEL_BALANCED (2): LZH (LZ + Canonical Huffman). Best balance of ratio and speed.
• codrop.LEVEL_COMPACT (3): LZA (LZ + tANS / Finite State Entropy). Maximum compression ratio.
