base116676
A library to cram data in the fewest number of code points humanly possible.
This was made because base65536 just doesn't go far enough. 😉
setting everything up
$ python3 setup.py install
base.py
>>> from base116676 import base
>>> base.encode(b'test')
'\u30f4\u1a06\ub91b'
>>> base.decode(_)
b'test'
minimize.py
>>> from base116676 import minimize
>>> minimize.encode(b'test')
'\u30f4\u1a06\ub91b'
>>> minimize.decode(_)
b'test'
In this case, there's no difference between base and minimize.
The compression tends to start being useful for longer texts and texts with lower entropy:
>>> base.encode(b'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!')
'\U000111f2\u4cf1\u4ff4\U00029407\u6b56\U0002ab5f\uccf7\U00023747\U0002c448\U0001d02e\U0002c9ad\U00024fb4\u96f1\U0002413d\u751c\U0002c18a\u0aea\ud4d9\u702c\u77a9\U00024379\U0001d8d4\u7801\u99a0\U00029715\U0002274c\U00020154\U000214be\u83de\U0002b8c1\U00022559\u44d4\U00021117\uc75b\U0002c7d3\u4c48\U000220fc\u7b20\U00021eec\U00022fb3\uffb7\u2b15\U000235d5\u4c51º\U0002587e\U00027c51'
