python programmers,
I'm am new to python ,I read that we have built in functions to achieve file compression in python . I just wanted to know if a file compression can be done without using these built in functions (maybe a longer code perhaps) .I wanted to understand the working of these built in functions(how they are coded) basically .
forgive the fallacies(if any) of a beginner,
thanks in advance
If you would like to learn more about how file compression works, the code is available right in the python source code in the file gzip.py. You should also check out the zlib source code, on which the gzip module is based.
You can get zlib source code from zlib.net.
