Mainly purposed for archiving text files as text files, but can archive any file and not only as text. txr was inspired by tar, gzip and gunzip. License: GPL v3 or later.
The txr format is composed of two files with the following extensions:
- .txr - a comma delimited index file (text).
- .txd - a data file (can either be text or binary). By default it is concatenation of the input files, separated by a sentinel).
txr uses:
- sha256 (for optional hashing, by default).
- zlib (for optional compressing).
- cryptography (for optional encrypting).
>>> pip install txr
txr is a standalone application (It consist of a single source file txr.py). Using the above command installs txr both as a console script and as a python module. If you wish you could also just copy txr.py and use it as a standalone app.
