implementing compression to transfer large files over socket. about python-p2p-network

[macsnoeren]

Interesting. Will have a look in the coming weeks.

[macsnoeren]

Do you have an idea or proposal to integrate it?

[akasheinstein]

yes!. I already made it work here.
but I am unable to integrate it with your code.
my working code link : https://github.com/akasheinstein/socket-communication-with-compression

[macsnoeren]

Ah, I see. I will have a look and propose a compression option in the code shortly.

[macsnoeren]

I have created a feature branch "feature_compression" in which I have started the development. So you can check it. At this moment, I am checking how to implement it within the framework without breaking current functionality. Could you give an easy example how to send and recieve compressed data? Maybe you could elaborate on how to send and recieve compressed data for the data types str, bytes and dict. That would help me a lot :).

[macsnoeren]

@akasheinstein Which compression library fo you use? I cannot find it.

[macsnoeren]

I have started the implementation with three options, namely bzip2, lzma and lzip. Current implementation not yet correct.

[macsnoeren]

@akasheinstein The compression has been implemented. Three options can be chosen, namely bzip2, lzma and zlib. Zlib has te best performance. When you send data, you are able to provide which compression you would like to add. Could you test and check it? Thanks!

[akasheinstein]

iam using zlib for compression.

[akasheinstein]

yeah, I'll check the code.

[macsnoeren]

I will close the issue. If you have any questions or other things regarding compression, you can always create a new issue.
