DESCRIPTION = "The pycodes package provides various extensions to Python for low density parity check (LDPC) codes \ (an extremely powerful class of error correcting codes). LDPC codes can be used for physical layer error correction \ in wireless, telephone, DSL, or cable modems; packet loss correction in multicast and distribution of bulk data over \ the Internet; and even data compression. A variety of decoding/quantization algorithms are provided including standard\ things like sum-product as well as linear programming relaxations."
