abydos.compression package¶

abydos.compression.

The compression package defines compression and compression-related functions for use within Abydos, including implementations of the following:

Arithmetic for arithmetic coding

BWT for Burrows-Wheeler Transform

RLE for Run-Length Encoding

Each class exposes encode and decode methods for performing and reversing its encoding. For example, the Burrows-Wheeler Transform can be performed by creating a BWT object and then calling BWT.encode() on a string:

>>> bwt = BWT()
>>> bwt.encode('^BANANA')
'ANNB^AA\x00'

class abydos.compression.Arithmetic(text: Optional[str] = None)[source]¶

Bases: object

Arithmetic Coder.

This is based on Andrew Dalke's public domain implementation [Dal05]. It has been ported to use the fractions.Fraction class.

New in version 0.3.6.

Initialize arithmetic coder object.

Parameters: text (str or None) -- The training text

New in version 0.3.6.

decode(longval: int, nbits: int) → str[source]¶

Decode the number to a string using the given statistics.

Parameters

longval (int) -- The first part of an encoded tuple from encode
nbits (int) -- The second part of an encoded tuple from encode

Returns

The arithmetically decoded text

Return type

str

Example

>>> ac = Arithmetic('the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog')
>>> ac.decode(16720586181, 34)
'align'

New in version 0.1.0.

Changed in version 0.3.6: Encapsulated in class

encode(text: str) → Tuple[int, int][source]¶

Encode a text using arithmetic coding.

Text and the 0-order probability statistics -> longval, nbits

The encoded number is Fraction(longval, 2**nbits)

Parameters: text (str) -- A string to encode
Returns: The arithmetically coded text
Return type: tuple

Example

>>> ac = Arithmetic('the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog')
>>> ac.encode('align')
(16720586181, 34)

New in version 0.1.0.

get_probs() → Dict[str, Tuple[fractions.Fraction, fractions.Fraction]][source]¶

Return the probs dictionary.

Returns: The dictionary of probabilities
Return type: dict

New in version 0.3.6.

set_probs(probs: Dict[str, Tuple[fractions.Fraction, fractions.Fraction]]) → None[source]¶

Set the probs dictionary.

Parameters: probs (dict) -- The dictionary of probabilities

New in version 0.3.6.

train(text: str) → None[source]¶

Generate a probability dict from the provided text.

Text to 0-order probability statistics as a dict

Parameters: text (str) -- The text data over which to calculate probability statistics. This must not contain the NUL (0x00) character because that is used to indicate the end of data.

Example

>>> ac = Arithmetic()
>>> ac.train('the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog')
>>> ac.get_probs()

class abydos.compression.BWT(terminator: str = '\x00')[source]¶

Bases: object

Burrows-Wheeler Transform.

The Burrows-Wheeler transform is an attempt at placing similar characters together to improve compression. Cf. [BW94].
