compress utility module

First, import the module:

from dataIO import compress

Read compressed binary in and out from file is easy:

binary = b"Hello World"

compress.write_gzip(binary, "data.gz")

binary = compress.read_gzip("data.gz")

If you want to shorten and compress your string:

text = "This is a very long string: abcdefghijk ..." * 10
compressed_text = compress.compress_str(text)
decompressed_text = compress.decompress_str(compressed_text)

Elegant, Ha?
