tinycompress.rleb.compress(data, minsame=3, minpast=0)[source]¶

Compresses data using the RLEB algorithm.

This is a convenience function that creates a compressor, compresses the data, and returns the result.

Parameters:

data (Union[bytes, bytearray, memoryview, Iterable[int]]) – Data to compress.
minsame (int) – Minimum compressed size, within MINSAME_MIN and MINSAME_MAX.
minpast (int) – Minimum bytes after a same streak, within MINPAST_MIN and MINPAST_MAX.

Returns:

Compressed data as bytes.

Raises:

ValueError – If any parameters are out of their valid ranges.
