In my experience, RLE isn't something you often find on its own. Usually it's used as part of some compression scheme that also has ways of encoding verbatim runs of data and maybe other things.
So I'm skeptical that it can be usefully provided as a library function. It seems more like a design pattern than something you can capture in a library. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
