>>> z = zlib.compressobj(level = 0, strategy = zlib.Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY)

Aha, that helps. Thanks!

@SocraticPhoenix Question: What are the 0 and true parameters here?

Huffman, Huffman, Huffman...

docs.python.org/3/library/zlib.html#zlib.compressobj

Hmm...

github.com/SocraticPhoenix/TioJ/blob/master/src/main/java/com/…

Best ask himself. :P

Now that's funky.

RTL?

Progress.

Processing Dennis' docs, SO's answers and requests' docs at the same time is slightly painful.

Yeah, I'm going through that.

zlib should have what is necessary, but I don't how to utilize it properly.

Still stuck there...

:P

@HyperNeutrino Good, next step, deflation!

I also did that, following SO's lead. :P

@HyperNeutrino Starting 16 bytes is important but you should have more.

I'm sure Python does too, but they're still annoying. :P

Ugh, this bot has to deal with compression and HTTP, two really annoying things...

@HyperNeutrino Have a look at this.

strike

I was told this was a great place to get fast technical help...

...

Unprofessional.

Does anybody happen to know a good way to deflate a string in Python?

Abort mission, abort mission!

Crap, we have too many people working on this.

...Never mind, I'm also gonna write a bot.

It's a friend of mine who's gonna write it, but I'm gonna test it in the sandbox.

Nope.

No, but I also said I know somebody who's practically over-enthusiastic about it.

I say "functional"...

Okay, looks like I'm gonna get a functional TIO bot in sandbox soon.

V lang [null] 01 [null] 0 neim [null] 0 F .code.tio [null] 01 [null] 02 R

@HyperNeutrino That's called outsourcing. :P

> V must be followed by a NUL-terminated variable name, an array length n (decimal, then NUL), then n NUL-terminated strings.

...Why couldn't it be just a simple JSON API? ;-;

:P
