Open Source Python Archiving Software

A new replacement module for python zipfile module, overcoming its current limitations. Some of them include support for: bzip2 (de)compression, removal of files in archive, file-like object API to ZIP archive members, traditional PKWARE encryption, etc.

This is a very powerfull criptography project that basicaly can be used to transmit or store secure data and study some cipher, hash and compression algorithms to understands how it works.

Content Based File level Data Backup in Python. This is a utility to backup your files. It can do full and incremental backups. It will take a directory as input, and will back up the files in that folder and all sub-folders to the backup destination directory. It can compress each file individually while backing-up. Mirrors the source directory structure under the target directory. Creates 1 archive file for each source file. Even if the backup/restore program or backup database is not available or lost, the backup files and structure can still be recovered. Huge plus for reliability. Uses a SQL database to manage backup file information. The files are managed through their checksum (SHA256). See wiki page for additional information: https://sourceforge.net/p/filebasedbackup/wiki/Home/ The project is work in progress. Main backup script is functional, but i have taken a break from adding features to the main program to build a GUI in Tkinter.

LZO is a compression library which is widely used around the world. The main problem with LZO is that it is absolutely not human readable. People have done crazy stuff to get LZO to run in their language. Usually it implies inline assembly or trying to execute data which actually contains machine code. This is sick. Whoever is responsible for this sorry situation ought to be ashamed. So I'm going to deobfuscate LZO and provide a ISC implementation of this algorithm in Python and C. In addition, I will provide a textual description of the algorithm so that it can be easily ported to any programming language. I expect a severe performance degradation, but I leave optimizing for speed to other people.
