Verified usage

encode

✓ from packbits import encode

Correct import for PackBits encoding

decode

✓ from packbits import decode

Correct import for PackBits decoding

Basic usage: encode a bytes-like object and decode the result.

from packbits import encode, decode # Encode a bytes-like object original = b'\x01\x02\x02\x02\x03' encoded = encode(original) print('Encoded:', encoded.hex()) # Decode back decoded = decode(encoded) print('Decoded:', decoded)

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedLibrary is unmaintained since 2013. No support for Python 3.12+ due to removed 'imp' module.

fix

Consider alternatives like 'tifffile' for PackBits or implement your own.

affects: 0.6

gotchaInput must be bytes-like; strings cause TypeError.

fix

Encode strings to bytes before calling encode/decode.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ImportError: cannot import name 'encode' from 'packbits'

The packbits module does not expose encode/decode; it may be installed incorrectly or version mismatch.

fix

Install packbits via pip: pip install packbits

TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

Input to encode/decode is string instead of bytes.

fix

Convert string to bytes: b = s.encode()
