Note: Picocrypt can use the <code>reedsolo</code> pip package itself, but it is very slow because it's pure Python. It is recommended to compile a Python extension (.pyd/.so) for <code>reedsolo</code>, and name it creedsolo (ie. <code>creedsolo.pyd</code> or <code>creedsolo.so</code>). Make sure to include the extension in the same directory as <code>Picocrypt.py</code>. The Windows executable already bundles <code>creedsolo.pyd</code>, but for Linux, you'll have to build the Python extension yourself if you want better speeds. Building the extension is not necessary if you don't intend on using the Reed-Solomon feature, or if you are okay with speeds ~1MB.
# Usage
Picocrypt is written to be cross-platform, so you should be able to run the raw Python file on your OS without any issues. Picocrypt's dependencies will be automatically installed via pip, which should work without issue.
