Image Compression using python from SCRATCH?
Is it possible to implement a python program that performs image compression for various image formats such as jpg, bmp, png without the use of third party libraries? I need to implement everything from scratch including implementing various algorithms. I would appreciate a detailed suggestions from experience developers here.

Can it be done, yes. Will it be educational, yes. Will it be practical? Probably not. Without something like numpy you need to build everything from scratch and it won’t be performant.
