The inflate64 is a python package to provide Deflater and Inflater class to compress and
decompress with Enhanced Deflate compression algorithm.
The project is in Production/Stable status.
You can install it with pip command as usual.
pip install inflate64
You can extract compressed data by instantiating Inflater class and call inflate method.
import inflate64
decompressor = inflate64.Inflater()
extracted = decompressor.inflate(data)You can also compress data by instantiating Deflater class and call deflate method.
import inflate64
compressor = inflate64.Deflater()
compressed = compressor.deflate(data)
compressed += compressor.flush()This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
