rmsfpzip 1.3.2

Introduction
This is a fork of https://github.com/seung-lab/fpzip with changes to allow it to work
with Python 3.11 and 3.12; it also has a different test and PyPI deployment system.
We are grateful to William Silversmith for all of the hard work necessary to make this
project in the first place.
This fork is maintained by the Ring-Moon Systems Node of NASA's Planetary Data System.
fpzip
fpzip is a compression algorithm supporting lossless and lossy encoding for up to 4 dimensional floating point data. This package contains Python C++ bindings for the fpzip algorithm (version 1.3.0). The version number for this package is independent. Python 3.9+ is supported. This
package works with both NumPy 1.x and 2.x.
import fpzip
import numpy as np

data = np.array(..., dtype=np.float32) # up to 4d float or double array
# Compress data losslessly, interpreting the underlying buffer in C (default) or F order.
compressed_bytes = fpzip.compress(data, precision=0, order='C') # returns byte string
# Back to 3d or 4d float or double array, decode as C (default) or F order.
data_again = fpzip.decompress(compressed_bytes, order='C')

Installation
pip Binary Installation
pip install rms-fpzip

If we have a precompiled binary available the above command should just work. However, if you have to compile from source, it's unfortunately necessary to install numpy first because of a quirk in the Python installation procedure that won't easily recognize when a numpy installation completes in the same process. There are some hacks, but I haven't gotten them to work.
pip Source Installation
Requires C++ compiler.
pip install numpy
pip install rms-fpzip

Direct Installation
Requires C++ compiler.
$ pip install numpy
$ python setup.py develop
