Python Bindings for ZRAN utility #794

Open forrestfwilliams opened 1 year ago

forrestfwilliams commented 1 year ago

The ZRAN utility that is included in the examples folder of this project is incredibly useful. However more people could take advantage of it if it was available from within a higher-level language (e.g. Python). To address this I've created this repository which uses cython to create a python wrapper/package for ZRAN.

While I'm happy to maintain/develop this code, I'd enjoy getting your thoughts on whether you feel that ZLIB and it's authors are adequately acknowledged in the repository, and any thoughts you have on the implementation.

I haven't had a chance to look at the repository, but I'd like to make you aware, in case you aren't, that I rewrote zran recently, which you can currently find on the develop branch.

Yep, thanks for the heads up! The python bindings I created are based on the updated develop version of zran.
