Pipress

Compression of files in terms of Pi.

This is quite possibly the worst file storage algorithm ever made. Requires MessagePack and Python3.

Powerful features:

• Nothing.

Limitations:

• Unbelievably slow. It took about 3 minutes to compress a 50kb image.
• Usually makes files 3 to 5 times larger.
• You need the 1 GB file pi-billion.txt in order for this to work.

Usage

First, download pi-billion.txt and put it in the same folder as pipress.py. Then, cd into your pipress directory and run:
python3 pipress.py yourinputfile.txt

This outputs yourinputfile.txt.pipress

To decompress simply run the following:
python3 decompress.py yourinputfile.txt.pipress

This will recreate the original file. This works with any binary file. Images, zip archives, you name it! Enjoy the future of compression.
