interface for implementing erasure codes - Python 2.x

Description

This library provides a simple Python interface for implementing erasure codes. To obtain the best possible performance, the underlying erasure code algorithms are written in C.

This library makes use of Jerasure for Reed-Solomon and provides its own flat XOR-based erasure code encoder and decoder. Currently, it implements a specific class of HD Combination Codes (see "Flat XOR-based erasure codes in storage systems: Constructions, efficient recovery, and tradeoffs" in IEEE MSST 2010). These codes are well-suited to archival use-cases, have a simple construction and require a minimum number of participating disks during single-disk reconstruction (think XOR-based LRC code).

This package contains the Python 2.x module.
