oZip 1.1

A Simple Compression Solution

Installation

To install oZip, simply use pip:

$ pip install ozip

If for some reason pip is unavailable (Or you’re on Windows), you can install by running the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/OzTamir/oZip
$ cd oZip
$ python setup.py install

If you have any problem with the setup process, you are welcomed to open a Issue in the project’s repository.

Usage

To compress a file run the following command:

$ ozip -i <Path to file>

This will create a file.ext.ozip in the same path.

To decompress a file, run the following command:

$ ozip -i <oZip File> -d

This will decompress the file in the same path.

Roadmap

Going forward there are still many things I’m planning to improve, both in the format design and in my implementation. Just a few of the planned improvements:

• Packaging oZip as a CLI tool using setuptools

• Adding a testing suite and make sure oZip plays nice on different platforms

• Optimize both speed and compression ratio

• Adding one of the LZ flavours to improve compression ratio

• Creating a packaged executable with a simple GUI
