Description: # zanon
        
        A module to anonymize data streams with zero-delay called z-anonymity.
        
        When instantiating the *zanonymity* object the constructor receives a value in seconds for **Delta_t** and a value for **z**.
        
        The *anonymize()* method accepts a string in the form of a triple **(t,u,a)** - meaning that at time **t** a user **u** exposes an attribute **a** - and a file object. 
        
        If the triple exposes an attribute that has not been exposed by other **z - 1** users in the past **Delta_t** the triple is simply ignored. Otherwise, the triple is printed with the file object.
        
        The algorithm can handle generalization when providing the attribute with a hierarchy using \* as separator (*max_generalization\*...\*min_generalization\*attribute*).
        Whenever is not possibile to release the attribute the algorithm will look for the most specific generalization exposed by **z - 1** users in the past **Delta_t**. If none is found, nothing is print out.
        
        ## example of usage
        ```python
        from zanonymity import zanon
        
        file_in = "trace.txt"
        deltat = 3600 #in seconds
        z = 20
        
        z = zanon.zanon(deltat,z)
        file_out = open('simulation_output.txt', 'w+')
        
        for line in open(file_in, 'r'):
        	z.anonymize(line,file_out)
        
        f.close()
        ```
