I've been doing similar things in [compress] coming from C rather than Python. My code is usually not a verbatim port but rather a Java rewrite of the ideas of the original algorithm. AFAIU a straight port would be fine as well as the license is compatible. You may want to keep pointers to the original code base and license with your code.
