I asked it to create a compress function, so it just zip'd it:
import zlib
s =
'0000000001000100001100100001010011000111010000100101010010110110001101011100111110000100011001010011101001010110110101111100011001110101101111100111011111011111'
def compress(s):
return zlib.compress(s.encode('utf-8'))
print(compress(s).decode('utf-8'))
