Thankyou. I just found some good stuff pertaining to compression in the 
"Python 2.3.3 lib.pdf"

Thanks for the response. I understand how to do all of these things with 
linux. Really. I just wanted to see an example of how this could be 
done with Python specifically so I could reference the steps taken. 
Then end result of "compression" isn't really what I'm looking for. 
It's the individual steps taken that's important. Just something to 
reference.

Thanks,
