So the next encoding possible would of base-128 (7-bits encoding)
A while ago I wanted to pack as much information as possible into a string of printable characters, and I came up with a base-95 encoding that packs 9 bytes into 11 characters. The application involved representing data using Python string literals, so it was important that only printable characters were used. I settled on the 9/11 combination as a reasonable compromise between packing efficiency and not having the block size too long. If anyone's interested, I could dig out the encoding and decoding routines I wrote. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
