dahuffman is a pure Python module for Huffman encoding and decoding, commonly used for lossless data compression. The name of the module refers to the full name of the inventor of the Huffman code ...

Add a description, image, and links to the huffman-python topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

前两天发布那个rsync算法后，想看看数据压缩的算法，知道一个经典的压缩算法Huffman算法。相信大家应该听说过 David Huffman 和他的压缩算法—— Huffman Code，一种通过字符出现频率，Priority Queue，和二叉树来进行的一种压缩算法，这种二叉树又叫Huffman二叉树 ...

Abstract: Novel maximal coding and maximal prefix coding are introduced. We show that for finite source alphabets all Huffman codes are optimal maximal codes and optimal maximal prefix codes.
