This is an implementation (written in python, c++ version doesn't work) of arithmetic coding for compression. You can find the principals of arithmetic coding here

Note: this is not made for serious use

The results of this encoder are:

enwik4: 10k  -->  7k

  -d D        decode
  -e E        encode
