Open Source Python Archiving Software

LAME is an educational tool to be used for learning about MP3 encoding. The goal of the LAME project is to improve the psycho acoustics, quality and speed of MP3 encoding. Note: we provide source code only!

The littleutils include duplicate file finders (repeats, repeats.pl, repeats.py), image optimizers (opt-jpg, opt-png, opt-gif, recomp-jpg), file rename tools (lowercase, uppercase, pren), archive recompressors (to-gzip, to-bzip2, to-bzip3, to-7zip, to-lzma, to-lzip, to-xz), a tempfile utility (tempname), file property tools (filedate, filemode, filenode, fileown, filesize, and lrealpath), and others. See the README file for more details.

This is a very powerfull criptography project that basicaly can be used to transmit or store secure data and study some cipher, hash and compression algorithms to understands how it works.

Backtory is a slim backup/restore software for unix-like operating systems, designed for stand-alone internet servers. It features differential backups, remote storage using various protocols as well as encryption/signing of backup archives.

CAIRN is a modular copy and restore program for the imaging of a computer. It copies every file on a computer and figures out how to recreate it from scratch. It is primarily network oriented but is also flexible enough to boot from any possible method.

LZO is a compression library which is widely used around the world. The main problem with LZO is that it is absolutely not human readable. People have done crazy stuff to get LZO to run in their language. Usually it implies inline assembly or trying to execute data which actually contains machine code. This is sick. Whoever is responsible for this sorry situation ought to be ashamed. So I'm going to deobfuscate LZO and provide a ISC implementation of this algorithm in Python and C. In addition, I will provide a textual description of the algorithm so that it can be easily ported to any programming language. I expect a severe performance degradation, but I leave optimizing for speed to other people.

Mutualized distant storage space management tool (using a distributed system).

PHOBOS implements a high performance storage solution on various storage backends, including tape libraries. It is fully based on open-source standards, open data formats and protocols, which avoids vendor locking of your data.

RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a powerful package management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and updating software packages. This is a port of the RPM software, including rpmbuild and yum/APT-RPM, to Darwin and Mac OS X

rpmdiff is a utility to create a binary patch from one version of an rpm to another. This binary patch can then be distributed to end-users of a distribution who have installed the first version of the rpm and they will be upgraded to the second version.

XML-DBM: lightweight embedded database to store, query and modify XML content without time and memory overhead of re-parsing/re-dumping original XML.

garchiver is an archiver for Gnome. It has a tree interface that lets you navigate through your archives very easily, as well as the classic WinZip interface. It also has full drag and drop support.

mediaTUM is free software written in Python for archiving and retrieval of images, documents and other research data. It was originally developed in the framework of the DFG project IntegraTUM and is continuously expanded with new functionalities as required.
