Library used to compress files using gzip but more simple

GZip Compression Utility

This is a Python package that provides a simple utility for compressing and decompressing files using the GZip format. The package uses the gzip module from the Python standard library.

Installation

You can install the package using pip:

pip install compressfiles

Usage

The package provides two main functions: compress() and decompress().

Compressing a txt file

To compress a file, use the compress() function. For example:

from compressfiles import compress

compress('my_file.txt')

This will compress my_file.txt and save the compressed file as my_file.gz.

You can also specify the output file path using the output_file_path parameter:

compress('my_file.txt','my_file.gz') You can customize the compression level (0-9), default is '6' compress('my_file.txt','my_file.gz', '8')

Decompressing a file

To decompress a file, use the decompress() function. For example:

from compressfiles import decompress

decompress('my_file.gz')

This will decompress my_file.gz and save the decompressed file as my_file.txt.

You can also specify the output file path using the output_file_path parameter:

decompress('my_file.gz', 'my_file.txt')
