  Description     : PackBits encoder and decoder

  This library implements PackBits, a simple form of run-length encoding, often
  used in PSD and TIFF file formats. It provides efficient methods for encoding
  and decoding data using this compression scheme.

I plan to maintain this package as part of the Python team.

This is a dependency of brother-ql (RFP: https://bugs.debian.org/910441).
