'Simple program to compressing text files using 4 most popular lossless algorithms'

Program to text compression and decompression which has implemented a few of the most popular lossless algorithms.

Description

Program compress and decompress text files, using chosen algorithm. It can run on files as well as in recursive way on directory with text files. Solid compression mode can be set with proper flag, default if directory is given it runs with non-solid mode and compress each file in that directory creating new compressed file. Implemented algorithms are:

• Huffmann (Huffman coding)

• LZSS ( Lempel–Ziv–Storer–Szymanski)

• LZW (Lempel–Ziv–Welch)

• Shannon (Shannon coding)

Usage

To install tcmpr use following command (assuming that you have pip installed):

$ pip install tcmpr

Compress file filename.txt with default algorithm (huffman coding):

$ tcmpr filename.txt

Decompress file filename.txt.huffman with appropriate algorithm based on extension (here .huffman):

$ tcmpr -d filename.txt.huffman

Other commands are described in official documentation
