PyEClib

and is known to work with Python v2.6, 2.7 and 3.x.

PyECLib supports a variety of Erasure Coding backends including the standard Reed
Soloman implementations provided by Jerasure [2], liberasurecode [3] and Intel
Soloman implementations provided by Jerasure [1], liberasurecode [3] and Intel
ISA-L [4]. It also provides support for a flat XOR-based encoder and decoder
(part of liberasurecode) - a class of HD Combination Codes based on "Flat
XOR-based erasure codes in storage systems: Constructions, efficient recovery,
and tradeoffs" in IEEE MSST 2010). These codes are well-suited to archival

participating disks during single-disk reconstruction (think XOR-based LRC code).
