Description: ===============
        PPMd for python
        ===============
        
        PPM(Prediction by partial matching) is a compression algorithm which has several variations of implementations.
        PPMd is the implementation by Dmitry Shkarin. It is used in the RAR by default and by 7-Zip as one of several possible methods.
        
        ppmd, aka. ppmd-cffi, is a python bindings with PPMd implementation by C language.
        Core codes are derived from p7zip, portable 7-zip implementation, and now only consist of Ppmd7, PPMd ver.H.
        
        Since 7-zip uses PPMd ver.H and RAR uses PPMd ver.I, the ppmd-cffi is considered compatible with 7-zip's implementation. 
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        As usual, you can install ppmd-cffi using python standard pip command.
        CAUTION: Since it is a bindings with C source code, C compiler should be installed on your operating system.
        
        ```
        pip install ppmd-cffi
        ```
        
        All C source codes are bundled with ppmd-cffi package.
        
        Usage
        =====
        
        ppmd-cffi provide two classes. Both class supports context manager, ie. `with ... as ..` syntax.
        
        Encoder
        -------
        
        Encoder class provide PPMd encoder. It has `encode()`, `flush()` and `close()` methos.
        
        Decoder
        -------
        
        Decoder class pvoride PPMd decoder. It has `decode()` and `close()` methods.
        
        Please see test code for a detailed usage.
