module documentation

Classes for working with blobs (content of entries).

We split this behavior in two main classes:

BaseBlobSource instances are used to provide BaseBlob instances
BaseBlob instances provide the data that will be written to the ZIM file

The idea here is that BaseBlobSource instances provide a resettable way of generating BaseBlob instances. Having the ability to generate a blob multiple times may allow us approaches for an improved compression.

Class	`BaseBlob`	Base class for blobs
Class	`BaseBlobSource`	Base class for blob sources.
Class	`EmptyBlob`	A `BaseBlob` used by `EmptyBlobSource` for empty blobs.
Class	`EmptyBlobSource`	A `BaseBlobSource` for empty blobs.
Class	`EntryBlob`	A `BaseBlob` used by `EntryBlobSource`.
Class	`EntryBlobSource`	A `BaseBlobSource` that provides the content from an entry.
Class	`FileBlob`	A `BaseBlob` used by `FileBlobSource` for file blobs.
Class	`FileBlobSource`	A `BaseBlobSource` for reading a blob from a file.
Class	`InMemoryBlob`	A `BaseBlob` used by `InMemoryBlobSource` for in-memory blobs.
Class	`InMemoryBlobSource`	A `BaseBlobSource` implementation for in-memory blobs.
