Managing cloop images with python scripts.

[belyi]

Hello everyone.

I have a couple of python scripts which work with cloop images - create and extract, just like create_compressed_fs and extract_compressed_fs do. The main difference is that they can do swap on disk so that they do not clog memory if you don't have enough of it. If you still want to keep everything in memory - you can do that too. They can work with stdin and stdout as well as files.
Surprisenly, they also a little bit faster on my machine than the original cloop-utils programs.

Hopefuly, they will be useful.
Cheers,
Igor

Would you mind if I rewrote these in perl?

No, I don't as long as you GPL them.
